There really isn’t anything like watching as the people who screwed you over disappear into oblivion as you rise higher and higher-as you come to realize you can do so much better. You start soaring and soon, those people who tore you apart, are so small it’s like taking off in an airplane and thinking curiously “How small the world is!” from your First Class seat of life.

"There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature."

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”
—Sarah Dessen, This Lulluby.

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."
