I know some of you are Thinking maybe I deserved it. But before you start pointing Fringers, let me ask you Is what I did really so bad? So bad I deserved to die? So bad I deserved to die like that?

Just a flash, and then you were gone, Exactly like a bird.

Lauren Oliver
anything, anything is possible, if you can just see the sky.
Lauren Oliver
I'm used to a feeling of doubleness, of thinking one thing and having to do another, a constant tug-of-war.
Lauren Oliver
i suppose that's the secret, if you're ever wishing for things to back the way they were. You just have to look up.
