I have to introduce the part of me that feels like a winner to the part of me convinced I’m a loser, and see if they can’t agree to exist somewhere closer to the middle.

Maybe I should sit. Plenty of people use sitting as a way to pass the time.

While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.

I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I'm not even sure is important to me.

I would rather be a person who struggled there than someone who had a great, easy time and then got out in the world and was like, "Wait a minute, I didn't get voted class president? What's going on?" You know, "popular" doesn't necessarily correlate to anything. "Popular" still has to get up at 7:00 in the morning and go to work and do something worthy too. There's no edge, really, that you get from being whatever was popular in school.

You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.
