A paper town for a paper girl.

But mothers lie. It's in the job description.

That didn’t happen, of course. Things never happened the way I imagined them.

And then we were kissing.....The space around us evaporated, and for a weird moment I rally like my body; this cancer-ruined thing I'd spent years dragging around suddenly seemed worth the struggle.

It always shocked me when I realized that I wasn’t the only person in the world who thought and felt such strange and awful things.

Sometimes people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them.

We all romanticize the people we adore.
