I loved her for the way she embraced the unknown, how she opened herself up to every experience. When I was with her, she opened me up, too, stirred my passion and heightened my every sensation.

Life, for the most part, inevitably becomes routine, the random confluence of timing and fortune that configures its components all but forgotten. But every so often, I catch a glimpse of my life out of the corner of my eye, and am rendered breathless by it.
Jonathan Tropper

Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up.
Jonathan Tropper
Image
At some point, being angry is just another bad habit, like smoking, and you keep poisoning yourself without thinking about it.

Fate already warned us to pack it in. We just didn’t hear it in time.

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

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.

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.
