I need to live my life in the light of their deaths. I need to live.

Now I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.

As we're standing there I realize we're almost exactly the same height. We must look like the dark and light side of an Oreo cookie, and I think how just as easily it could have been the other way around. She could be blocking my path I could be trying to slip around her into the dark.

I don't know whether these feelings - this thing growing inside of me - is something horrible and sick or the best thing that's ever happened to me. Either way, I can't stop it. I've lost control. And the truly sick thing is that despite everything, I'm glad.

An eye for an eye. And the whole world goes blind, Coral puts in quietly.
Lauren Oliver
Image
But this isn’t like anything I’ve ever seen, or imagined, or even dreamed: This is like music or dancing but better than both.

We are always being pushed and squeezed down one road or another. We have no choice but to step forward, and then step forward again, and then step forward again suddenly we find ourselves on a road we haven't chosen at all.
Lauren Oliver

Every choice is limited. That's life.
Lauren Oliver
Image
Welcome to the free world. We give people the power to choose. They can even choose the wrong thing. Beautiful, isn't it?

Nothing exists but him.

And in that moment, the wordless thing passed between us, the thing that wasn't quite love but was so close I could believe in it sometimes.

It's not my fault I can't be like you, okay? I don't get up in the morning thinking the world is one big, shiny, happy place, okay? That's just not how I work. I don't think I can be fixed.

But how could anyone who's ever seen a summer - big explosion of green and skies lit up electric with splashy sunsets, a riot of flowers and wind that smells like honey - pick the snow?

Everything ends, people move on, they don't look back. It's how they should be.
