I could picture life—school and everything else—continuing on without me. But I could not picture my funeral. Not at all. Mostly because I couldn’t imagine who would attend or what they would say.

You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part.

Actually, I love trying to figure out why certain books become hits while others, which may be just as good, have trouble finding an audience.

Every reader is different. There's no book that's inappropriate for every person, but there are people who cannot handle everything.

How many times had I let myself connect with someone only to have it thrown back in my face?
Jay Asher

My breathing begins to slow. The tension in my muscles starts to relax. Then, a click in the headphones. A slow breath of air. I open my eyes to bright moonlight. And Hannah, with warmth. Thank you.

You told me I wrote that poem because I was afraid of dealing with myself. And I used my mom as an excuse, accusing her of not appreciating or accepting me, when I should have been saying those words into a mirror.

But they were wrong. There was a reason.

The Golden Rule will always be good advice!

And after I dropped him off, I took the longest possible route home... I explored alleys and hidden roads I never knew existed. I discovered neighborhoods entirely new to me. And finally... I discovered I was sick of this town and everything in it.

It's nothing. A school project. My go-to answer for anything. Staying out late? School project. Need extra money? School project.
