This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
David Levithan
I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.

David Levithan
I have always been aware of how I break. I know what kind of situations will break me. I know what kind of people will do it. I know how much it will hurt.

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.
David Levithan
It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.
David Levithan
That lasting things do, in fact, last.
David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason. And maybe I've gotten it backward, maybe it's just because I need a reason that I find myself falling in love with her. But I don't think that's it. I think I would have continued along, oblivious, if I hadn't happened to meet her.
David Levithan
The world, right now, is only us.
David Levithan
Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
David Levithan
But there was something about you that made me think of sparks and motion.
David Levithan
I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too.
David Levithan
Teens wanted things that were real, that they connected with, it doesn't have to reflect reality directly. They love 'The Hunger Games' not because it's real in that it happens, but the emotions there are real, and it's very relatable.
