And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.

Stephen ChboskyI can see it. This one moment when you know youโre not a sad story. Youโre alive. And you stand up and see the lights and the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And youโre listening to that song in that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swearโฆ we are infinite.
Stephen ChboskyShe said that by introducing me to all these great things, Mary Elizabeth gained a โsuperior positionโ that she wouldnโt need if she was confident about herself. She also said that people who try to control situations all the time are afraid that if they donโt, nothing will work out the way they want.
