The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
Donald Miller

It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.

I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
