Gayle Forman
Letting go. Everyone talks about it like it's the easiest thing. Unfurl your fingers one by one until your hand is open.
Gayle Forman
...the world feels so big when you're out in the wide open. It's like you don't have a place in it when you don't have a home. Your place is right here, I whispered, laying down and hugging her close.
Gayle Forman
Because for that day, I really did become Lulu. Maybe not from the film or the real Louise Brooks, but my own idea of what Lulu represented. Freedom. Daring. Adventure. Saying yes.
Gayle Forman
A thousand suns rise from my chest.
Gayle Forman
