So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be

Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.

Enjoy it. Because it's happening.

It's strange because sometimes, I read a book, and I think I am the people in the book.

And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people, and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.'

I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.

Standing on the fringes of life... offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

I just hope I remember to tell my kids that they are as happy as I look in my old photographs. And I hope that they believe me.

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

I am very interested and fascinated how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
