I see Nick's number. I debate whether to assign a name to his number. If I commit to that, then I will truly be heartbroken if he never calls me again my heart will knot each and every time I use this phone and see his name in there. I would probably end up having to trash the phone entirely.

Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it.
David Levithan
Pink is female - but why? Are girls any more pink than boys? Are boys any more blue than girls? It's something that has been sold to us, mostly so other things can be sold to us.
David Levithan
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be.
David Levithan
I guess I don't believe these things can ever be easy, although I also don't see why they have to be hard.
David Levithan
But I had a feeling I wasn't supposed to find her that way. She was not a needle. This was not a haystack. We were people, and people had ways of finding each other.
David Levithan
Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.
David Levithan
Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
David Levithan
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.
David Levithan
There's no way for them to take away my sadness, but they can make sure I am not empty of all the other feelings.
David Levithan
I don’t want you to think I got through this undamaged, okay? But I’m learning to live with it. Because otherwise, the damage is all you are.
David Levithan
Love weaves itself from hundreds of threads.
