It is hard to believe that something that seems so permanent was once so different. Change. I guess that really is one thing you can count on.

More quotes by Ellen Hopkins
I nod, because I do understand. I'm just not sure how to go about divorcing myself from the evil I've already accepted.
Ellen Hopkins
The first time I kissed you. One kiss, and I was totally hooked. Addicted to you. I could never love anyone the way I love you. I'd follow you across the universe.
Ellen Hopkins
That's what I'll be. A silhouette, rarely seen, and yet believed in. Kaeleigh wants to believe in me. I am her twin, forever alive inside her. And when she needs me, I am always here.
Ellen Hopkins
Everyone's afraid of everybody else...maybe because we're all afraid of ourselves.
Ellen Hopkins
Always before, I just said no, left it solidly there. I waver now. I want to share everything with him. Want to know what he knows, feel what he feels, share the same space he's in.
Ellen Hopkins
It's probably weird to think about an addiction like it's a sentient being, but that's how it feels. Like it's something living inside you. Something you can't get rid of because killing it means killing you.

Losing It Some days I think I'm losing my mind. What seems so clear most of the time becomes a big question mark. Am I really the way I percieve myself, or is the person others see the truth of me? I wait for answers, but inside I know I have to go out and find them. And answers like knowledge, are not always where we first look for them.

Ellen Hopkins
Christmas is far and away my favorite holiday. I love everything about it, from the event that inspired it, hoping for a white one, to wrapping presents. But mostly I love having family and friends gathered, and sharing traditions.
Ellen Hopkins
But then, my entire life is bullshit. The best things in it have vanished, ghosts. Ghosts I'll admit I created.
Ellen Hopkins
Your hurt swallows ine, like space swallows time, and the two intertwine. We tangle together.
Ellen Hopkins
God i've missed you. I can't wait to give you your present. He kisses me hotter this time, and beneath me, through his denim and mine. I can feel the promise of his Christmas gift soon to come.
Ellen Hopkins
Only by confronting your demons can you ever hope to conquer them.
Ellen Hopkins
Don't Stop ...down, ...Down there ...down where ...monsters, ...Run!
Ellen Hopkins
Maybe Life is random. No fate. No God. Just Time.
Ellen Hopkins
Communication Was never big in my house. We sat together over dinner, but the only sound you'd hear was crunching and chewing and the little ones asking for more, please. We lived, all boxed up in invisible containers. We hardly knew the people we called sister or father. Jackie and I were the exceptions to that rule.
Ellen Hopkins
Red and raw like my heart, pried from your's, the two beating, no longer together, but a thousand miles between them when only yesterday they thumped in unison.
Ellen Hopkins
When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival.
Ellen Hopkins
Addiction is rarely conquered alone.
