It's kind of like when you look at yourself in the mirror and you say your name. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real. Well, sometimes I can do that, but I don't need an hour in front of a mirror. It just happens very fast, and things start to slip away. And I just open my eyes, and I see nothing. And then I start to breathe really hard trying to see something, but I can't. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it scares me.

Everyone says so. They always have." "I'm trying not to be.โ Then, I turned around and walked to my room and closed my door and put my head under my pillow and let the quiet put things where they are supposed to be.

Stephen ChboskyTo tell you the truth I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world.
Stephen ChboskyI think it was the first time in my life I ever felt like I looked โgoodโ. Do you know what I mean? That nice feeling when you look in the mirror, and your hairโs right for the first time in your life? I donโt think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day, but when it happens, itโs nice. It really is.
