David Levithan
Everyone tried with me. And everytime, it felt like the whole point of life was to see if trying was ever enough.
David Levithan
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.
David Levithan
Which is more stubborn, the love or the two arguing people caught within it?
David Levithan
I say good-bye to hope, but I also say good-bye to hope's disappointment.

Her mind is an unquiet one, words and thoughts and impulses constantly crashing into each other.
David Levithan
Freedom is also about what you will allow yourself to do.
David Levithan
