Dad? Um, listen. I have kind of a crazy story for you.

Part of me could do it. Run off and get married. But another part... Another part of me wondered if I could really trust anyone. If all relationships were all doomed.

Dad? Um, listen. I have kind of a crazy story for you.

Sometimes you don't need lightning to start a fire. Sometimes, it builds on its own.

No one was perfect. But we all did the best we could. I guessed you had to forgive when you could, move on when you couldn't, and love your family and friends for who they were instead of punishing them for who they weren't.

Liking someone doesn't make you weak.

I always work from an outline.
