Sometimes we have thoughts that even we donโt understand. Thoughts that arenโt even trueโthat arenโt really how we feelโbut theyโre running through our heads anyway because theyโre interesting to think about. If you could hear other peopleโs thoughts, youโd overhear things that are true as well as things that are completely random. And you wouldnโt know one from the other. Itโd drive you insane. Whatโs true? Whatโs not? A million ideas, but what do they mean?
Jay AsherEverything about it was false. Right then, in that office, with the realization that no one knew the truth about my life, my thoughts about the world were shaken.
Jay AsherSoul Alone by Hannah Baker I meet your eyes you don't even see me You hardly respond when I whisper hello Could be my soul mate two kindred spirits Maybe we're not I guess we'll never know My own mother you carried me in you Now you see nothing but what I wear People ask you how I'm doing You smile and nod don't let it end there Put me underneath God's sky and know me don't just see me with your eyes Take away this mask of flesh and bone and See me for my soul alone
Jay Asher
