David Levithan quotes about
cotton-candy weapons shields
Your humor is your compass and your shield. You can hone it into a weapon or you can pull its strands out to make your very own cotton-candy blanket. You can’t exist on a diet of humor alone, but you can’t exist on a diet without it, either.
sixteen hurdle appropriate
I was sixteen and equipped with the appropriate genitalia, so I cleared that hurdle nicely.
mistake should bigs
I know I should just leave. Just go. Because there's a point where a mistake turns into a big mistake, and I should probably come to my senses before I get there.
traps lifeless seems
This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.
getting-what-you-want figures difficult
Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it.
love-each-other
Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
choices storm landscape
Once the storm comes out, the landscape changes. What you had before is altered in some way. And you have a choice: build something new and better from what is left or abandon it.
stunning hard accidents
Beauty comes naturally, but it's hard to be stunning by accident.
self-esteem cutting clothes
Self-esteem can be so exhausting. I want to cut my hair, change my clothes, erase the pimple from the near-tip of my nose, and strengthen my upper-arm definition, all in the next hour.
pairs lovers assumption
There is no word for the recipient of the love. There is only a word for the giver. There is the assumption that lovers come in pairs.
balls feels seems
And just like that, the universe goes wrong. Just like that, all the enormity seems to shrink into a ball and float away from my reach. I feel it, and she doesn't. Or I feel it, and she won't.
awkward possibility
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
kindness nice character
I no longer think she's just being nice. She's being kind. Which is much more a sign of character than mere niceness. Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen.
kindness want niceness
Kindness connects to who you are, while niceness connects to how you want to be seen.
