Because it is so hard, in any life, to believe in what you can’t fully understand.

Like it takes so little not only to change something, but to make you forget the way it once was, as well.

It was like discovering that some part of you wasn't yours at all. And it made me wonder what else I couldn't claim.

It was like that part of my life, was just gone. It was almost too easy, for something I once thought had meant everything.

I mean, it's impossible to fake anything if you've already seen the other person in a way they'd never choose for you to. You can't go back from that.

The mistakes you make now count. Not for everything, and not forever. But they do matter, and they shape you.If you take nothing else from what I've been through, at least remember this: make your choices well. Because you'll always be accountable for them. That's what being an adult is all about.

It's true. It's like the hidden secret that no one tells you. we can all be beautiful girls, Colie. it's so easy. it's like Dorothy clicking her heels to go home. You could do it all along.
