My sister thought about it for a few moments. Well, that's boring, she said finally. Why can't you read porn of something fun that I could borrow? I laughed. Maybe later.

Then what's the point of trying if you can't even win? You win in lots of different ways, Asher said. Lots of little wins. The point of this life is not to be good all the time. It's to be as good as you can. No one is perfect. No one does it right all the time. That's not what life is.

I-just want you. I want you so bad, all the time. I know I shouldn't, I know I can't, I know it's wrong... but even when you're pissing me off, when you're reminding me of pain and despair and torture-it's there, the wanting. I'm tired of fighting it. I fight so many things, all the time, every day. I don't want to fight this. Not anymore.

Being good is something that one must choose over and over again, every day, throughout the day, for the rest of one's life, Asher said. A day is made of a thousand decisions, most small, some huge. With each decision you have the chance to work toward light, or sink toward darkness.

I felt an overwhelming gratitude in my life right now and wanted a chance to acknowledge it. I felt that any thanks given to any god all went to the same place, anyway, no matter what religion you were centered in.

The heart that loves must one day grieve. Love and grief are the Goddess's twined gifts. Let the pain in, let it open your heart to compassion. Let me help you bear your grief and then may your heart ease and open to greater love. May the love that flows eternally through the universe embrace and comfort you. p.85

But I also meant that loving someone really opening your heart to them is just asking to have your heart smashed and handed back to you in little pieces.

What an amazing day, Bree said, stretching in her seat. Thanks to me and my weather charm. I said lightly. Robbie and Hunter both looked at me in alarm. You didn't, Said Robbie. You didn't, Said Hunter. I was enjoying this. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. Hunter looked upset. You can't be serious! Cahn't, I thought. Cahn too.

You have to admit he's good looking, Bree pressed, leaning against my kitchen counter. Of course I admit it. I'm not blind, I said, busily opening cans.
