And I told you: I think of a photograph you took of me, up in Montreal. You told me to jump in the air, so in the picture, my feet are off the ground. Later, I asked you why you wanted me to do that, and you told me it was the only way to get me to forget about the expression on my face. You were right. I am completely unposed, completely genuine. In my mindโs eye, I picture myself like that, reacting to you.
David LevithanYou don't realize - the great thing about change is how quickly we get used to it. So I'm not complaining. the more things change,the more they don't stay the same. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They might not change everywhere all at once - but there are moments when the impossible becomes the inevitable, and the rest is just a matter of time.
David LevithanI get it. The things you hope for the most are the things that destroy you in the end.
David LevithanWe are so used to releasing words, we don't know what to do with them if they stay. No matter how many times we let them go, they come back. The words that matter always stay.
David LevithanI couldn't remember ordinary moments, only the ones that had made an impression. Ordinary moments were the ones that fell away first.
David LevithanWhen it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea whatโs right and whatโs wrong, and thatโs got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then youโre most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.
