She was supposed to be putting her life together right now, and all she could seem to do was throw grenades at it.

The present no matter what I brought couldn’t change the past. The Past was set and sealed.

I sometimes think the stronger you feel about someone, the harder it is to picture their face when you are away from them.

Time is what keeps things from happening all at once.

People said things they didn't mean all the time. Everybody else in the world seemed able to factor it in. But not Lena. Why did she believe the things people said? Why did she cling to them so literally? Why did she think she knew people when she clearly didn't? Why did she imagine that the world didn't change, when it did? Maybe she didn't change. She believed what people said and she stayed the same." (Lena, 211)

Wish for what you want, work for what you need. -Carmen's grandmother

I love you, I'll never stop.
