“And I, who have never thought in terms of a life, think to myself that I could make a life out of this.”

“Today, I will try to remember to regret the past. I will think of how many mistakes I have made throughout my life. I will say to myself, 'If only I could go back in time and make different choices, so that my life could be the way it should have been.' Then I will remind myself that I cannot.”

“I knew at that moment I had to make a choice... I could submit to everything and live a life of excuses, or I could push myself... I could push myself and make my life good...”

“You ran into my life, this beautiful, amazing girl who changed everything. I finally saw what my world could be. What being normal and happy could look like. You’ve given me everything I never thought I could have! It scares to me think of life without you. Of not seeing your smile or hearing your voice.”

“I think and think and think, I‘ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.”

“I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.”
