David Levithan quotes about
voice silent
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
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.
senior jobs believe
In school, the year was the marker. Fifth grade. Senior year of high school. Sophomore year of college. Then after, the jobs were the marker. That office. This desk. But now that school is over and I've been working at the same place in the same office at the same desk for longer than I can truly believe, I realize: You have become the marker. This is your era. And it's only if it goes on and on that will have to look for other ways to identify the time.
mistake would-be lapses
arrears, n. My faithfulness was as unthinking as your lapse. Of all the things I though would go wrong, I never thought it would be that. "It was a mistake," you said. But the cruel thing was, it felt like the mistake was mine, for trusting you.
nice denial
underneath all that denial, you're someone who's deeply, deeply nice.
zoom losing-yourself persons
If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.
hopeless-romantic way possibility
Every person is a possibility. The hopeless romantics feel it most acutely, but even for others, the only way to keep going is to see every person as a possibility.
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.
love-each-other
Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
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.
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.
might happy-endings
this might be the happy ending without the ending
