I always have a goal, even if I keep it to myself. It allows me to keep pushing myself.

It sounded stupid, but of course everything does when you're just getting the bare bones facts, only the basics.

During the long stretches of quiet two-lane highway, with the sun setting in the distance, it was somehow easier to say things aloud, and regardless of what was said, we just kept moving toward that horizon.

So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.

At every wedding someone stays home.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

n the dark everyone felt the same: the edges blurred. When I think of myself then, what I was like two years ago, I feel like a wound in a bad place, prone to be bumped on corners or edges. Never able to heal.
