As far as rapprochements go, it's awkward and vague, but the advantage of being as emotionally inarticulate as we are is that it will do the trick.

Jonathan Tropper
Image
You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.

Image
If only all our conflicts could be resolved with a few grunts and a smack in the ass.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
I’m living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
We're all clichés, all following scripts that have been written and played out long before we landed the role.

Image
Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
Sometimes it’s heartbreaking to see your siblings as the people they’ve become. Maybe that’s why we all stay away from each other as a matter of course.

I blame Hollywood for skewing perspectives. Life is just a big romantic comedy to them, and if you meet cute, happily ever-after is a forgone conclusion.

I've never been shot, but this probably what it feels like, that second of nothingness right before the pain catches up to the bullet.
