I stopped hating and started just being. My whole life, I had been the most defensive person you'd meet, unable to tolerate any criticism. But now I started listening and being.

When I looked into her eyes, I saw an invisible spirit of something that I already loved.

As long as a person is breathing, there is hope for them.

I was like a clock that had exploded- my springs were hanging out, my hands were cockeyed, and my numbers were falling off.

She was probably the girl I loved the most of all my girlfriends, but also the toughest one to make things work out with. If I had put that much effort into any of my other relationships, I'd be married with five kids now.

Adolescence is such a fun time in your life, because you think you know it all, and you haven’t gotten to the point where you realize that you know almost nothing.

Honestly, I'm really just a teddy bear.
