We all romanticize the people we adore.

For the longest time, it felt kind of like my chest was cracking open, but not precisely in an unpleasant way.

Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia.

I dislike the phrase ‘Internet friends,’ because it implies that people you know online aren’t really your friends, that somehow the friendship is less real or meaningful to you because it happens through Skype or text messages. The measure of a friendship is not its physicality but its significance.

The weird thing about houses is that they almost always look like nothing is happening inside of them, even though they contain most of our lives. I wondered if that was sort of the point of architecture.

I realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and I thought, God we must look so lame, but it doesn't matter much when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.

Pain is like fabric: The stronger it is, the more it’s worth.
