All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.
David Levithan
We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.

Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.
David Levithan
Moments into minutes. Minutes into hours. Hours into days. Days into years. Years into possibility. This will linger.
David Levithan
placid, adj. Sometimes I love it when we just lie on our backs, gaze off, stay still.
David Levithan
