Falling in love isn't as easy as it seems when you've seen love crash and burn right in front of your eyes.

If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.

I think I've developed, as many people do, this sense of, 'Don't say the wrong thing, or else people will point at you and laugh.'

Happiness isn't a constant. You get fleeting glimpses. You have to fight for those moments, but they make it all worth it.

I don't mind being pale. In high school, it seemed like everybody cared about being tan all year round, but I haven't really thought about it since then. I don't go to a tanning bed, and I get bored when I lay out. I put sunscreen on when I'm in the sun, and sometimes I get tan, but I don't really think about it very much.

Let go of people who bring you down, and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly.
