So I just decided to relax into it, bumpy and crazy as it might be, and try for once to just go along for the ride.

Okay. Enough. I got out of the closet, brushing myself off, then turned around to face her. This is happening. So you need to go downstairs, face your fears, and make the best of it, and everything will be okay. She narrowed her eyes at me. When did you suddenly become so positive? Just get out of there.

It's not always so simple, Haven. Sometimes there isn't a good guy and a bad guy. Sometimes even the ones you want to believe turn out to be liars.

Times like this it did seem real I was leaving, and even more that my family, and this life, would go on without me. And again I felt that emptiness rise up, but pushed it away. Still, I lingered there, in the doorway, memorizing the noise. The moment. Tucking it away out of sight, to be remembered when I needed it most.

As if it didnt matter what was on, but instead how hard i was listening.

I have to admit, an unrequited love is so much better than a real one. I mean, it's perfect... As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.
Sarah Dessen
If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!

It takes so little to change everything. If you really thought about it, it would scare you to death.

The silence wasn't like the ones I'd known lately, though: it wasn't empty as much as chosen. There's a entirely different feel to quiet when you're with some-one else, and at any moment it could be broken. Like the difference between a pause and an ending.

A thump thump thump noise that was so unfamiliar, and yet I couldn't quite place it. But I knew it. It was - Mmm-hmmm, Monica murmured, just as Wes came view into the path. He was running, his pace quick and steady. He was in shorts, his shirt off, staring ahead as he passed. His back was tan and gleaming with sweat.
Sarah Dessen

Lifestyle is an terrible, unpleasant put to not have a very finest buddy.
