And finally,dace breaks.Lots of dance breaks.
Jenny Han
Love is scary: it changes it can go away. That's the part of the risk. I don't want to be scared anymore.
Jenny Han
Would you rather live one perfect day over and over or live your life with no perfect days but just decent ones?
Jenny Han
Firsts are best because they are beginnings
Jenny Han
He didn't give me flowers or candy. He gave me the moon and the stars. Infinity.
