Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love.
David Levithan

Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
David Levithan
What a strange phrase — –not seeing other people. As if it’s been constructed to be a lie. We see other people all the time. The question is what we do about it.
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
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 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
There is certainty in a ring. The non-ending, the non-beginning. The ongoing. The way it holds on to you not because it's fastened or stretched or adhered. It holds on because it fits.
David Levithan
Sometimes when you hit send, you can imagine the message going straight into the person's heart. But other times, like this time, it feels like the words are merely falling into a well.
David Levithan
It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
David Levithan
I think of friendship in terms of love.
