I used to be embarrassed by my mom, but now I know what she is-she's a hero.

I just think about how saying that you love someone can make your heart feel like some sort of brownie sundae, warm, gooey, sweet and good.

I like a lot of things that aren't good for me.

I crumple on my bed. For a second, i believed that what i wanted more than anything in the world had come true. For a second, i believed that my dad was back. but he isn't. He's gone again. he's really truly gone and i know it. i know i'll never see him again no matter how much i want to. The candle in me has blown out and i'm afraid, really, really afraid, because my biggest fear is true. i have to live my life without my dad, my running partner, the guy who taught me amnesty and sang john lennon songs really off key.

We all have to feel empty sometimes.

Emotions are real, just not the reasons behind them.

A cheerleader? Do I look like a guy who'd be interested in talking to a cheerleader?
