“I am jealous of anyone who can make other people care so much.”

“There is no word for our kind of friendship. Two people who don'tsee each other a lot, but can make each other effortlessly happy”

“I am always amazed by people who know something is wrong but still insist on ignoring it, as if that will somehow make it goaway.”

“There's no way for them to take away my sadness, but they can make sure I am not empty of all the other feelings.”

“It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.”

“I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else. I will never feel the pressure of peers or the burden of parental expectation. I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.”
