I wish I could tell my parents, If you want to help me, help me die.
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.

...When I asked [my dad why the sky was blue] he said it was because God's a boy. If God were a girl, the sky would be pink. 'What about sunrise and sunset?' I'd asked. Dad had looked dumbfounded. 'You kids. You think too much.' It frightened me how shallow the gene pool was that Liam and I were wading in.

I just want the pain to end.
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.

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
It was her way of saying, You should kill yourself.
Julie Anne Peters
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.
Julie Anne Peters
But I'm no hero. I had to keep my dirty little secret. The worst sin I committed was holding it in letting the secret blacken me.
Julie Anne Peters
I'm scared. What will tomorrow bring? It has to be better than today. It has to.
Julie Anne Peters
The truth remains. I was, and am, disgusted with myself.
Julie Anne Peters
Take it as a token. Because tomorrow when I go, I want you to believe friends are possible.
Julie Anne Peters
Everything seems to be working. Except me. I'm broken.
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
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
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
At times like this, I'm thankful I don't feel love.
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
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
