3 " And this way, l'll leave everything behind before it gets the chance to do the same to me. "
4 " Love puts itself first, and makes its own plans. It maps you out instead. Maybe that's what makes it perfect "
5 " They say that life is just a blank chain, and precious moments are the beads we hang off it to make it beautiful. "
6 " I can change my plans. But I can't change my family. "
7 " My Best Friend and I have spent plenty of time together, despite me being in my First Ever Relationship. This is because friends should always come first. "

11 " We each have our own language.Our own way of thinking, of talking to ourselves, of making sense of the world and putting it in order. A narration style that is ours and ours alone. That's why some of us connect and some of us don't.

It stretches its legs, goes for a jump, explores other waters. Did Cinderella go back cleaning hearths once she married the prince? ... Transformation means moving forward. If a butterfly stays on the same leaf and a frog stays in the same pond, then they may as well have stayed a caterpillar or a tadpole. There was no point in metamorphosing. "
17 " Nobody really metamorphoses. Cinderella is always Cinderella, just in a nicer dress. The Ugly Duckling was always a swan, just a smaller version. And I bet the tadpole and the caterpillar still feel the same, even when they're jumping and flying, swimming and floating.Just like I am now. "
18 " Now and then, you get to put somebody else at the top of your list. "
