"And somewhere in the middle of it all, I stopped worrying about sucking in my stomach, or if he could see me in the half-light of the moon, and instead noticed how seamlessly we fit together; how when I let go of me, there was only room for us."

"It’s interesting to look back at old friendships and think of how you’ve all grown, but it’s sad to think of how you’ve grown apart. What happened to the sleepovers and longer-than-necessary talks on the phone? What happened to never being apart and the last part of “best friends forever”? I miss the certainty that I would never feel alone. All I can do is look forward to the places I’m going to see, the people I will meet, and all the new friendships ahead of me."

"Others sang your life
But now is a chance to shine
And have the pleasure of
Saying what you mean
Have the pleasure of
Meaning what you sing
Oh, make no mistake my friend
All of this will end
So sing it now, sing your life!
All the things you love
All the things you loathe
Oh, sing your life!"
