“ You will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate
“
You
will fall in love with your friends. Deep, passionate love. You
will create a second family with them, a kind of tribe that makes
you feel less vulnerable. Sometimes our families can’t love
us all the time. Sometimes we’re born into families who
don’t know how to love us properly. They do as much as they
can but the rest is up to our friends. They can love you all the
time, without judgement. At least the good ones
can.

- Picture this. Ten years from now, you’re sitting in a big house, all white picket fence and porch swings. Ten years ago you swore you’d be living in a big city with her by your side but something happened along the way and you watched as those plans disintegrated in the palms of your hands. You watch the sunrise and you watch the sunset and you wonder if she’s somewhere on the other side of the planet like she promised. “I gotta get out of here,” she said, “it doesn’t matter how I do it or where I go, I’m getting out.” Picture this. Twenty years from now, you find your first grey hair. You dutifully have that middle aged panic attack that everyone seems obliged to have and you screw up your eyes and pull it out. Your life is pretty steady now: good, calm, like you’ve finally figured things out. “I’m getting old,” you grumble. And somewhere, at the back of your mind, you wonder if she’s getting old too. Picture this. Fifty years from now your hair is like snow (if you have any, that is). Your walking stick is your new best friend and memories seem to flit in and out of your head like clouds in the sky. Most days you can’t remember what you had for breakfast or what you’ll have for tea, and some days it’s beginning to hurt to breathe. It’s on these occasions, when your chest is heavy and you have to sit down, that you remember her. You think how true it is that you don’t forget the people you loved when you were young. You may not remember yesterday’s weather but you remember the fifty year old summer breeze and complaining about her hair in your face. “I wonder if she’s happy,” you say, and people mistake it for mindless rambling. “I hope she found what she was looking for.”
- most of the TIME WHEN WE THINK WE'RE looking for death, we're really LOOKING FOR LOVE.

- a lot of my life has been realizing that i would cross oceans for people who wouldn't jump puddles for me
- I think old fashioned is cute. I think kisses on the cheek & forehead, actual dinner dates and asking someone out in person is a lot more romantic. I don't think the guy should always make the first move, but I feel as if it's cuter if the guy asks out the girl rather than the other way round because it's been like that for so long. I liked it when the guy actually valued their girlfriend and called her 'sweetheart' instead of 'babe'.
- "I babysat this six year old, and I was wearing shorts today.. and my scars were showing, I guess. He poked them and he said, "I know how those got there." I replied, "How?" He looked at me with a straight face and he said, 'I've seen them before. My big sister had them, and she said mean people put them on your body when they weren't nice to you, because when people are mean to you, you end up being mean to yourself. My big sister went away. I don't know where she went. Mommy said she's on a happy vacation somewhere, because she was too sad here. I miss her. Don't go on a vacation, please.'"
- “ I want to know you. You seem like someone worth knowing. Every day I feel like I’m surrounded by people with hard edges and sour faces but I get the sense that you’re different. Too often people seem to think that they have the answers to everything. Their faces are trapped in permascowls and they can’t be bothered with anything besides their own narcissism. You aren’t like that. You still ask questions. You’re still looking for the answers. —Ryan O'Connell ”
