“You think it’s so easy to change yourself. You think it’s so easy, but it’s not. True, things don’t stay the same forever: couches are replaced, boys leave, you discover a song, your body becomes forever scarred. And with each of these moments you change and change again, your true self spinning, shifting positions– but always at last it returns to you, like a dancer on the floor. Because throughout it all, you are still, always, you: beautiful and bruised, known and unknowable. And isn’t that ― just you― enough.”

“One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way as someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in the world. If you’re lucky enough to find this person, never let them go.”

“I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life and start figuring out the one I have.”

“Cosmos is a Greek word for the order of the universe. It is, in a way, the opposite of Chaos. It implies the deep interconnectedness of all things. It conveys awe for the intricate and subtle way in which the universe is put together.”

“I like being alone. I like having no expectations. I like playing music too loud. I like dancing by myself while cooking dinner. I like forgetting the world. But sometimes I get lost there. I don’t like being gone without a guide. I don’t like forgetting a dance step and having no one to remind me what it was. Because there’s some voids music can’t fill and there’s emptiness that expectations chase away. I like being alone, but being lonely, that terrifies me.”
