...choosing words is harder than I thought.

Wishes are slippery things. You have to be very specific or you can get exactly what you wished for and still end up with nothing.

Why can't the world be simpler, like it is for guinea pigs? They only have a few rules: Crying will get you attention. If it fits in your mouth, it's food. Scream if you don't get your share.

Some people think they know who you are, when really they don't.

Stay because you want to be here. Stay because we would miss you. And stay because you can belong in more than one place, and one of your places is with us.

It's easy to remember only the good parts of people if you never see them. Real people are much more complicated.
