We pencil-sketch our previous life so we can contrast it to the technicolor of the moment.
David Levithan
I find my greatest strength in wanting to be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave. I don't know if I've ever realized it before,[...] I think we both realize it now. If there's no feeling of fear, then there's no need for courage.
David Levithan
only adj. thats the dilemma isn't it? when you're single, there's the sadness and joy of only me. And when you're paired, there's the sadness and joy of only you.
David Levithan
When you need to hold onto something, you should. Whatever gets you through, take it.
David Levithan
Love me less, but love me for a long time
David Levithan
But I want to feel like life matters. I had something real with you, but then the realness scared me. I decided to go for other things instead.
David Levithan
I never felt the urge to jump off a bridge, but there are times I have wanted to jump out of my life, out of my skin.
David Levithan
dissonance, n. Nights when I need to sleep and you can't. Days when I want to talk to you and you won't. Hours when every noise you make interferes with my silence. Weeks when there is a buzzing in the air, and we both pretend we don't here it.
