David Levithan
I want to know why this is such a part of me. I want to know why this thing that happened to other people has happened so much to me. I keep looking for the lesson.

I think of friendship in terms of love.
David Levithan
Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
David Levithan
Life goes on. Get over it. You're still young. It'll get better. Blah, Blah, Blah
David Levithan
Freedom is also about what you will allow yourself to do.
David Levithan
motif, n. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you. You don’t love me as much as I love you.
David Levithan
