Why do some memories live only on your tongue or in your nose? Why do others always stay in your heart?

My parents had very high expectations. They expected me to get straight A's from the time I was in kindergarten.

You remember only what you want to remember. You know only what your heart allows you to know.

...we were like two people standing apart on separate mountain peaks, recklessly leaning forward to throw stones at one another, unaware of the dangerous chasm that separated us.

I didn't fear failure. I expected failure.

I once sacrificed my life to keep my parents' promiise. This means nothing to you, because to you promises mean nothing... But later, she will forget her promise. She will forget she had a grandmother.

Hardships can harden even the best person.
