Most of the people I know who were raised to be accommodating or were raised to just be nice and put everybody's needs ahead of theirs, there comes a moment when the pressure builds and they can't do it anymore. They have needs and they feel neglected and they usually explode.

I just laid around in my bed, looking at the ceiling, and i smiled because it was a nice kind of quiet.

Nobody felt sad as long as we could postpone tomorrow with more nostalgia.

The most beautiful surprise is that you have these moments where you connect with people on a deep level without saying a word. It's one of those wonderful things that you get what you give, and I'm grateful for it.

Even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.

I look at people holdings hands in the hallways, and I try to think how it all works. At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to ‘their song.’ In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guys’ jackets, and I think about the idea of property. And I wonder if anyone is really happy.

I'm going to be who I really am. I'm going to figure out what this is.
