David Levithan quotes about
honestly matters poorly reflects second true whether
I can honestly say I've never thought for a second about whether a character reflects poorly on any group. All that matters to me is that the character is true to my belief in who he or she is.
knowing-who-you-are trying want
I could point out that it isn't always easy knowing who you are and what you want, because then you have no excuse for not trying to get it.

I'm a firm believer that every person, young or old, has at least one good story to tell.

hands years feelings
Such a strange thing, to hold a six-year-old's hand. Especially a six-year-old you've only just met. A toddler will grab hold of your finger, and someone your own age will clasp on to your whole hand, but with six-year-olds it's something in between, this acknowledgment that they can't be the one to take hold, so you have to do all the holding, folding your hand around theirs, feeling so much bigger and responsible.
want matter
What i want is for what i want to actually matter.
elevators stairs
Life tells you to take the elevator, but love tells you to take the stairs.

You are so close, and I can’t reach you.
dream breathing breathe
I am breathing. In dreams, we never bother to breathe.

I have become very good at clearing histories.
sickness moments reverse
As if when someone close to us dies, we momentarily trade places with them, in the moment right before. And as we get over it, we’re really living their life in reverse, from death to life, from sickness to health.
darkness black today
I've worn black today, because I've heard so often that it's supposed to be slimming. But instead I am this sphere of darkness submarining through the halls.
ocean wind firsts
The ocean makes its music; the wind does its dance. We hold on. At first we hold on to one another, but then it starts to feel like we are holding on to something even bigger than that. Greater.
when-you-love-someone reason love-someone
It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.
