Gayle Forman
It's just accidental, just temporary. Until the next accident sends me somewhere new. That's how life works.
Gayle Forman
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
Gayle Forman
About being grateful for what you have instead of yearning for what you think you want.

Gayle Forman
Sacrifice, that's what we do for the people we love.
