There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.

I am so used to hints and mixed messages, saying things that might mean what they sort of sound like they mean. Games and contests, roles and rituals, talking in twelve languages at once so the true words won't be so obvious. I am not used to a plainspoken, honest truth.

I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.

Tell me a way you think this can work. We'll find a way, I tell her. That's not an answer. It's a hope. Hope's gotten us this far. Not answers.

But I still has enough longing for that concept that I didn't want to dispel it completely. Meaning: I didn't want to tell Lily that I felt we'd all been duped by Plato and the idea of a soul mate. Just in case it turned out that she was mine.

People say that time slips through our fingers like sand. What they don't acknowledge is that some of the sand sticks to the skin. These are memories that will remain, memories of the time when there was still time left.

aloof, adj. It has always been my habit, ever since junior high school, to ask that question: “What are you thinking?” It is always an act of desperation, and I keep on asking, even though I know it will never work the way I want it to.

But I guess you don't see the planets when you're staring at the sun. You just get blinded.

Slowly would be better than not at all.

I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.

I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.

It's you. You deserve this. There is a reason this is happening to you.

Image
I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.

You can't deny that there's something between us. No. There is. When I saw you today--I didn't know I'd been waiting for you until you were there. And then all of that waiting rushed through me in a second. That's something... but I don't know if it's certainty.
