That's how people live in the real world: forcing stuff on each other.

Things may look different to you than they did before. I've had that experience myself. But don't let appearances fool you. There's only one reality.

Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.

Exerting yourself to the limit over and over again, that is the essence of running. Running is painful, but the pain doesn't leave me, I can take care of it. That agrees with my mentality.

Why do I act like this, agreeing when I really disagree, letting people force me to do things I don't want to do?

We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.

Let the world move along as it pleased. If it had any business with him, it would be sure to tell him.
