More quotes by 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
Why are people so cruel? What did I ever do to them?
Julie Anne Peters
Our eyes met across the crowded room, like in the movies, except we didn't share a knowing smile and race into each other's arms. Instead I fell into the trash can.
Julie Anne Peters
Do what, Kim? Lead a normal life? Too late. Way too late.
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.
Julie Anne Peters

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 want to tell them, Chip, Kim, there is no way to suicide-proof a person.
Julie Anne Peters
I have no intent. I have no reason to live, that's all. When I'm gone, I don't want to be remembered.
Julie Anne Peters
Like anyone cared where I was, or who I was.
Julie Anne Peters
My mother read that parents should spend quality time with their children. One way is to sign up for organized activities together. This month we're taking meditation to free the mind. Last month it was Rolfing. Have you ever Rolfed, Tone? Only after the school's shepherd's pie, I said.
Julie Anne Peters
I won't be alive so I won't care who finds me.
Julie Anne Peters
No one else knows I'm alive, which means they won't notice when I'm gone.
Julie Anne Peters
You still have, I looked at my watch, twelve seconds to change your mind. Find someone else and save your reputation. One side of his lip cricked up. I found you. I'll take my chances.
Julie Anne Peters
Yet, when we talked, when we were together, she seemed so familiar. Seemed to know who I was, where I was coming from. She knew me better than I knew myself, I think. She was easy to be with. And I wanted to be with her, like all the time.
Julie Anne Peters
The truth remains. I was, and am, disgusted with myself.
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
Take it as a token. Because tomorrow when I go, I want you to believe friends are possible.
