A Quote by Ben Aaronovitch

You see them once in a while, or even a lot, but still they have their box in your life, their specific place. Their *category.* That's one of the great things about being someone's love-- you have no box in their life because you're part of all their boxes.

The boxes are for him so he can be a bird.

The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a safe code of conduct - one that would earn everyone's approval.

So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you.
