Sarah Dessen
Because anyone that can make you feel that bad about yourself is toxic.

If there's one thing I've learned in the last few months, it's that sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump.
Sarah Dessen
Behind the camera, I was invisible. When I lifted it up to my eye it was like I crawled into the lens, losing myself there. and everything else fell away.
Sarah Dessen
It wasn’t so much that I was positive. I just wasn’t fully subscribing to such a negative way of thinking anymore.
Sarah Dessen
That's not a real answer.' Says who?' Says me. I mean real fear, like of failure, of death, of regret. Like that. Something that keeps you awake nights, questioning your very existence.' Clowns.
Sarah Dessen
If someone is really close with you, your getting upset or them getting upset is okay, and they don't change because of it. It's just part of the relationship. It happens. You deal with it.
