To be nobody-but-yourself — in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else — means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
It seems these days that I’ve got so many thoughts in my head, that if I don’t get them out I might explode.
This year, I wished for love.. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel.
2 A.M. You know. The person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them. Even if they’re alseep or it’s cold or you need to be bailed out of jail… they’ll come for you. It’s like the highest level of friendship.

Sarah Dessen, What happened to goodbye
|
I think life should be about touching the lives of people around us. Making a difference. Accepting people for who they are, going out of our way to help others, and loving with all that we’ve got. Sometimes all it takes is one simple gesture, and we can put a smile on someone’s face and make them feel less alone. That is what we should live for, because when we’re gone from this world, we can’t take anything with us. All that’s left are the people whose lives you touched, and the difference you’ve made while you were here. So make this life count, because you don’t get a second chance.

You say you’re all dark and twisty but it’s not a flaw, it’s a strength. It makes you who you are.
I dread the big choices which loom up in my life. I am afraid. I feel uncertain. What is best for me? What do I want? I don’t know.
As human beings we can always try to do better, to be better, to re-write a wrong even if it feels irreversible. Of course, “I’m sorry” doesn’t always cut it. Maybe because we use it so many different ways: as a weapon, as an excuse. But when we are really sorry. When we use it right. When we mean it. When actions say what words never can. When we get it right, “I’m sorry” is perfect. When we get it right, “I’m sorry” is redemption.
Life is a balance of holding on, letting go, and knowing when to do which of the two.
