There's just something obvious about emptiness, even when you try to convince yourself otherwise.

You know, I think I knew you for about three weeks before I ever really saw you smile. And then one day, Morgan said something and you laughed, and I remember thinking it was really cool because it meant something. You're not the kind of person who smiles for nothing, Colie. I have to earn every one.

Looking at the pond, all I could think was that it is an incredivle thing, how a whole world can rise from what seems like nothing at all.

Home wasn't a set house, or a single town on a map. It was wherever the people who loved you were, whenever you were together. Not a place, but a moment, and then another, building on each other like bricks to create a solid shelter that you take with you for your entire life, wherever you may go.

Donneven, Bettaquit and Mmmhmmmm

None of it meant anything, and all of it was important.

Maybe we were all destined to just keep doing the same stupid things, over and over again, never really learning a single thing.
