But seventeen is an inconvenient time to fall in love.

He showed me how to get lost, and then I showed myself how to get found.

I realize then that it's not enough to know what someone is called. You have to know who they are.

It's the same thing that happens when I turn off a really good movie - one that I've lost myself to - which is that I'll be thrown back to my own reality and something hollow will settle in my chest. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie all over again just to recapture that feeling of being inside something real. Which, I know, doesn't make any sense.

I don’t want to be that person, who just takes things.

I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It’s okay if you have to leave us. It’s okay if you want to stop fighting.
