Express life.

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”

“Almost. It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite. Not yet. Soon, maybe.”

““Expectation is the root of all heartache.””

“The sad truth is the truth is sad.”

““Maybe you don’t know me that well.””

“The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.”

“When was the last time anyone ever told you how important you are?”

““The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.””

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.”

“For what it’s worth: It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.”
