Dear friend, I feel great! I really mean it. I have to remember his for the next time I'm having a terrible week. Have you wer done that? You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don't know why. I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again. It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try.

It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.

After a few minutes, it was time for me to leave. I don't know who decides these things. It just happens.

And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.

Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom. And a mom knowns this. And it gives her a sense of purpose. You get it?

Patrick started running after the sunset. And Sam immediately followed him. And I saw them in silhouette. Running after the sun.

You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.
