Don't be a fool. Don't give up something important to hold onto someone who can't even say they love you.

But when you're alone in the world, really alone, you have no choice but to be open to suggestions.

There's something nice about the silence of a car ride in the dark, going home. When you were tired of the radio and conversation, and it was okay to just be alone with your thoughts and the road ahead. If you're that comfortable with someone, you don't have to talk.

You should never be surprised when someone treats you with respect, you should expect it.

I wasn't very happy in high school: it was a confusing and sort of sad time for me.

It was becoming clear to me that I shouldn't bother to get too attached to anything. Turn your back and you lose it. Just like that.

Was it really this easy, once you escaped, to just not care?
