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.
Stephen ChboskyMaybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.
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 ChboskyI feel like a big faker because I've been putting my life back together, and nobody knows.
