You have to believe there are kisses and laughs and risks worth taking.

I am not dangerous. Only the stories are dangerous. Only the fictions we create, especially when they become expectations.

In Sliding Doors, the whole idea is that every choice you make, and every single thing that happens to you changes the trajectory of your life, and once you are put on that trajectory, there is no way back. But Groundhog Day - which, I tell him, also happens to be a much better movie - says the opposite. It says if you mess up or make the wrong choice, you just have to keep at it until you do it right.

I have taken advantage of other people's weaknesses in order to cover my own.

I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.

This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance.
