See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it

They say that there are moments that open up your life like a walnut cracked, that change your point of view so that you never look at things the same way again.

I know how difficult it can be when the image you've had of something doesn't match its reality; when the friend beside you turns into a monster.

I used to believe everything my brother told me, because he was older and I figured he knew more about the world. But as it turns out, being a grown-up doesn’t mean you’re fearless. It just means you fear different things.

Envy, after all, comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had.

I know what it's like when the things you believe make you feel like you're on the outside looking in.

I may not have a degree, but I certainly got an education.
