I think they were afraid that some of us would try to kill ourselves or something because they looked very tense and one of them kept touching his beard.

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.

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.

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

Enjoy it. Because it's happening.

The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.

As people get older, we all know, you get married and you have a child and that becomes your family, but when you're 16 years old, especially, your family is your friends.
