I couldn't fault her for believing, because I had to imagine i was nice to have that illusion still intact.

I immediately suspected there was much more to it than was being said.

This is what my voice sounds like I don't need to be talking to someone else To hear it

I find my greatest strengths in wanting ti be strong. I find my greatest bravery in deciding to be brave.

We remember what it was like to meet someone new. We remember what it was like to grant someone possibility. You look out from your own world and then you step into his, not really knowing what you’ll find there, but hoping it will be something good. Both Ryan and Avery are doing this. You step into his world and you don’t even realize your loneliness is missing. You’ve left it behind, and you don’t notice because you have no desire to turn back.

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

I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
