The fact is, the heart and mind aren't always friendly. And in my case, they're barely speaking.

You'll always be safe with me.

Life is not meant to be an open-book test.

Everything just feels so empty without her. She was more a parent to me than my birth parents were. She took me in, fed, dressed me, but most importantly, she treated me with respect. She taught me that my abilities were nothing to be ashamed of, nothing I should try so hard to deny. She convinced me that what I had was a gift-not a curse- and that I shouldn't let other people's narrow minds and fears determine how I love, what I do, or how I perceive myself in the world. She actually made me believe that in no way, shape, or form did their uninformed opinions make me a freak.

Deep down inside, my heart knew the score. And I know that Haven was wrong. It's not always a case of one loving more than the other. When two people are truly meant to be, they love equally. Differently - but still equal.

You cannot outwalk your problems. Can never run fast enough to evade them completely.

Trust me, you can't play the game if you don't know the rules. And if you don't know the rules, someone's bound to get hurt.
