Miracles don't happen. You make them happen. They're not wishes or dreams or candles on a cake. They're not impossible. Reality is real. It's totally and completely under my control.

More quotes by Julie Anne Peters
Who becomes you? No one. No one should become me. When I die, I don't want my body or soul inhabited. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.
Julie Anne Peters
I got singled out. I don't know why. Why do people always target me? Is it because I'm short and they figure I can't fight back? They're right, I can't, but it's not because I'm vertically challenged.
Julie Anne Peters
I won't be alive so I won't care who finds me.
Julie Anne Peters
What will I become? Because I won't be me any longer. That will be a relief. I dont want to be the helpless person I've always been.
Julie Anne Peters
His invitation lingers. So does my question. Why me? I don't know the answer. When I look at myself in the mirror, all I see is a starving, stunted bird who never grew wings and lost all reason to sing.
Julie Anne Peters
That earns him a smack with my book bag. Ow. He clutches his arm. What do you have in there? Books? A grin snakes across his face. I like my women feisty. He adds, I like my broken.
Julie Anne Peters
That same piercing screech in her voice every time at the hospital. Do something! When I slit my wrists. Help her! The last time too. Somebody help her. Help us! You're helpless, both of you. All of us.
Julie Anne Peters
I hated him. I hated them all. They made me hate myself even more than I already did.
Julie Anne Peters
As they were carting him off on a gurney, all I could think was, I wish that was me.
Julie Anne Peters
You would never understand, Kim. You think I'm normal you wish I was.
Julie Anne Peters
Take it as a token. Because tomorrow when I go, I want you to believe friends are possible.
Julie Anne Peters
No one ever found out what was happening inside me. How the pain was eating me away. No one ever came to my rescue, or stood up for me.
Julie Anne Peters
People don't change. There are two kinds of people in the world: winners and losers. Black and white. I don't know where gray fits in, or if you can even live in that shade.
Julie Anne Peters
I think about my choice. Either outcome is bleak. If I stay and live through high school, go to college, get a job, what will ever change? This blackness inside will never go away. I don't make friends I'll always be alone. If I go, at least there's hope of peace. Chance of a new and better life on the other side.
Julie Anne Peters
The truth remains. I was, and am, disgusted with myself.
Julie Anne Peters
They didn't guarantee you'd come out a whole person.
Julie Anne Peters
No one else knows I'm alive, which means they won't notice when I'm gone.
Julie Anne Peters
I suppose I'll be remembered as dull. Timid. No one ever knew me. People came. They went. I was kind, I think. Not sympathetic, but considerate of others. I always gave up my place in line. I loaned out pencils and paper, or let people take them from me. I never reported a sexual assault.
Julie Anne Peters
Yeah, I loved her. I couldn't help it. She was my brother.
Julie Anne Peters
And it’s more. It’s about getting past that question of whats wrong with me, to knowing there’s nothing wrong, that you were born this way. You're a normal person and a beautiful person and you should be proud of who you are. You deserve to live and live with dignity and show people your pride.
