“Sometimes I don't feel like a functioning adult”
“I keep waiting to feel old, to feel like a grown-up, but I don't yet. Do you think that's the big secret adults keep from you? That you never feel like a grown-up?”
“I don't know what came over me. It's like sometimes when it's very quiet I feel like screaming. And sometimes when I'm holding something delicate I feel like dropping it. I don't know why.”
“The more knowledge I gain, the more like an adult I feel. I never got this chance to become an adult.”
“I sometimes feel that I'd like to talk about it. Then I find it's better if I don't.”
“Words are good for saying what things are, but sometimes they don't function for what things aren't.”
