21 " He told me that whatever happens no matter what bad things we do, there’s always a way back through family. Family will be there when everything else is stripped away. You don’t turn your back on family. "

22 " Imitation isn’t just flattery. It’s also a great way to learn. The harder part is leaving imitation and finding your own voice. "
23 " Well, I’m not sure if we’re supposed to understand everything in a poem. I think the point is it’s supposed to hit you on a deeper level, a deeper truth that your soul feels even if your rain can’t understand it. "
24 " Love is supposed to be a fire, an all-consuming passion that keeps you up at night. A state of being that drives you crazy because you wake to thoughts of her, and end the day, and end the day with the same. Love is marked by sighs and stars. With songs and butterflies that make your stomach flip and flutter when she looks at you. You feel nervous and excited at the same time. You just want to be near her. You don’t even care if you’re doing anything – just sitting next to her is good enough. "
25 " And the evidence of love is that you become a better person, she makes you better. It’s not supposed to be measured by lies and betrayals, smoke and mirrors. "
26 " Is this how all love begins and ends? In the quiet torment of the soul? If this is what it’s like to love, I don’t want to ever love someone again. "
27 " Love is hard work. People change, grow together, grow apart. I think the real question is whether loving someone is reason enough to forgive the pain they cause you. "
28 " Today I miss when she'd make me tea and we'd talk. "

29 " I wondered if there’d ever be a time when the sound of an opening door would be nothing more than that. Is that what it meant to move on, to let go? "
