And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.” “There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.” “So, I guess we
are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” “I think that if I ever have kids, and they are

lines And that's what it was all about And he let them sing on the bus and he had to ask his father what the X's meant Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines because that was the name of the season And the kids told him when he asked her to go see Santa Claus Once on a paper torn from his notebook and a strange steady look And he caught his
sister but he kissed her anyway That's why on the back of a brown paper bag And he called it "Absolutely Nothing" he could reach the kitchen.” “I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each
other.” “It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.” “I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist.

“And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.” “And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her.

anybody. I wanted to laugh. Or maybe get mad. Or maybe shrug at how strange everybody was, especially me.

You can't just sit their and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. And we could all
sit around and wonder and feel bad about each other and blame a lot of people for what they did or didn't do or what they didn't know. I don't know. I guess there could always be someone to blame. It's just different. Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it's okay to feel things. I was really there.

I feel infinite.” “I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.” “I walk
around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen.

Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.” “I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with someone even if they could have. I need to know these people exist.” Welcome back. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account.
