1 " At a certain point, unabashed optimism becomes delusional insanity. "
― Matt Abrams , She's Toxic
2 " Please remember that you can talk to me about anything. I know it’s hard to talk to your old mom about things, but I’ll always help you in whatever way I can. I’m serious. You have to remember that I used to hold you right here in my arms. "
3 " She was getting worse, but I knew that I had to stand by her. I knew the type of woman she really was and I needed to find a way to help her find herself. She didn’t give up on me when I hit bottom, so I wouldn’t give up on her. "
4 " I could feel the tears streaming down my face—in some kind of frenzied competition with the rain. At first, I tried to brush the tears away, but I finally let them take their course, unabated. "
5 " I think we’ve all lost our minds a bit.” It sounded like she was fighting back tears. "
6 " Then again, I had become a disappointment. It’s easier to find fault with a disappointment. "
7 " I was good at fabricating the truth when necessary to protect someone, even myself. "
8 " Sadly, peaks and valleys are a part of life. You are resilient and you will come out of this stronger than you ever thought possible. Trust me—I know. It’s crucial to remain positive and optimistic. "
9 " We must all face our demons sooner or later. "
10 " We’re always taught that bad things happen to bad people and we believe that we’re somehow above experiencing a tragedy, but we learned that’s all bullshit. "
11 " We could have simply passed like ships in the night, with serendipity eluding us. "
12 " She had not always been in my life, but life before her seemed like a charade. "
13 " Maybe it’s a symptom of a small town—and Gentry certainly was that—but for some, even after graduation, high school never really ends. "
14 " We might not be able to stay in bed forever, but I’d settle for all day. "
15 " I always considered “love” to be such an ambiguous term, often both overused and underused, but I knew that I was feeling something that I’d never felt before. "
16 " Playtime was over. I grabbed her by the shoulders and threw her down on the bed. "
