Lauren Myracle
I'm a southern girl, and I grew up with this slightly schizophrenic upbringing where I bounced back and forth between Atlanta, Georgia, and a tiny mountain town called Brevard, North Carolina. My parents were divorced, and my two lives were very different because of socioeconomic reasons.

Lauren Myracle
I'm in loooove with this boy, and when you in love with someone, you don't give up on 'em, mo matter what.
Lauren Myracle
And you're figuring out who you are, and you haven't yet become stagnant in your thinking. You haven't solidified. And one thing that I find is that a lot of grown-ups tend to look back on their high school or middle school years and say, Oh, thank God all that's over.
Lauren Myracle
There's something strange about this big pink bunny.
Lauren Myracle
Yes, that man acted ugly, she told us in plain English. But throwing more ugliness back at him ain't the answer.
Lauren Myracle
Three hot chicks for three hot chicks. THEY'RE NOT CHICKS! THEY'RE DUCKS!

One: Don't play leapfrog with elephants. Two: Don't pet a tiger unless his tail is wagging. Three: Never, ever, mess with the Ladies Auxiliary. -Mayberry Rules for a Long, Happy Life

Curse false-hand-holding boys!
Lauren Myracle
If she did see, I hoped she' be amazed. Amazed and thankful, because without even asking, she'd received a genuine autograph from a genuine girl from Atlanta. Not just any girl, but a girl who was, frankly, a pretty big deal. A girl who was me.
Lauren Myracle
I'm sorry, he said again, and this time he took those words and owned them.
Lauren Myracle
We all mess up. It's what we learn from our mistakes that matters.
Lauren Myracle
Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.
