I get a message from my dad. In the mood I'm in, I tear up to see his name in my inbox, and imagine him down the hall in bed, propped on pillows, emailing me. "Hon,Enjoyed our gelato date the other night. I just want to say I'm proud of you for a lot of reasons. Also, I've attached a picture of my foot."He's such a weirdo goofball. I love him.

I played the clarinet, and my sister played the violin... If wed had the discipline and the passion, maybe we could have been good.

Sometimes you should have something you don't need but that you want.

don’t mistake a new place for a new you.

Sitting and waiting for something to happen was the worst kind of torture.

I lived too much in my head instead of the real world.

You were never what I wanted to forget.
