“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”

“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have a say in who hurts you.”

“Be very, very careful what you put into that head, because you’ll never, ever get it out.”

“You’re not only my star, you’re my whole damn sky.”

“I fell for that one guy who is so out of reach, but still close enough to make it hurt.”
