Teens are not like the weird, dumb dwarves you have around your house. They are actually you when you were younger.
Matthew Tobin AndersonOlder teens tend to write to me and say, 'Thank you for not writing down to teenagers.'
Matthew Tobin AndersonI miss that time. The cities back then, just after the forests died, were full of wonders, and you'd stumble on them--these princes of the air on common rooftops--the rivers that burst through the city streets so they ran like canals--the rabbits in parking garages--the deer foaling, nestled in Dumpsters like a Nativity.
Matthew Tobin AndersonI am messaging you to say that I love you, and that you're completely wrong about me thinking you're stupid. I always thought you could teach me things. I was always waiting. You're not like the others. You say things that no one expects you to. You think you're stupid. You want to be stupid. But you're someone people could learn from.
