“I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions.”

“Get up and fight. Simply screaming won’t get you anywhere.”

“Eyes are distracting. You see too much. You don’t see enough.”

“Don’t let the concept of change scare you as much as the prospect of remaining unhappy.”

“But with every falling apart there is a coming together.”

“Time ticks by; we grow older. Before we know it, too much time has passed and we’ve missed the chance to have had other people hurt us. To a younger me this sounded like luck; to an older me this sounds like a quiet tragedy.”

“This is how we reveal ourselves: these tiny flashes of discomfort, the reactions we can’t hide.”

“There’s always a little truth behind “just kidding”, a little knowledge behind “I don’t know”, a little emotion behind “I don’t care”, and a little pain behind “It’s okay”.”

“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly…”

“My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn’t go as planned, and that’s okay.”

“Girls like her were born in a storm. They have lightning in their souls. Thunder in their hearts. And chaos in their bones.”

“So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me because I, too, am fluent in silence.”

“Eye contact is a dangerous,dangerous thing. But lovely. Oh, so lovely.”
