" I never made any friends, even as a kid. Not the kind you can open your heart to.” “It’s not that hard.” “I hope not. Because I’m going to be a different person. I’m going to tell people about the real me. This is the first time I can do it, because it’s the first time I’ve really known myself. And I’m going to love. I’m going to care about people. "
