1 " It's okay. Calm down. Listen. We never asked you to do more than you can handle, and we're not going to. There's a difference between trying your best and trying too hard. When you want help, ask for help. And quit...apologizing for everything! "
― Natsuki Takaya , フルーツバスケットanother 1 (Fruits Basket Another, #1)
2 " Your life is yours and yours alone. No one has the right to take it from you. That's right- no one. Not even your parents. And if someone wants threatens to take it from you...it's okay to run and never look back. You're more than allowed to protect yourself. Expecting someone to smile and say thank you to their family...when that "family" is stepping all over them- that's just abuse. It's just a curse. "
3 " Why do I always...irritate others...without even realizing it? I'm not trying...to cause any problems. "
4 " In the end, I'm always like this. Whether I get involved with people or not...before I know it, I've done something wrong and made someone upset. I'm even disappointing myself. How many times? How many more times do I have to let myself down for this to stop? "
5 " I was just... a little desperate. I was fed up with repeating the same mistakes day after day. "
6 " I'm so rude. 'If you have trouble with anything...'I don't deserve to have anyone say that to me! 'When you need help, ask for help!' If I asked for help, I would just be...spoiled. Because I haven't done anything yet. I haven't done a single thing. By myself... or starting with myself...I've always just gone with the flow. "
7 " My friends rejected me...out of nowhere. What was wrong with me? What did I do? I really had no idea. Why? I want to know why. If I did something wrong, I want to apologize. But the rejection got worse, and so did the fear. "
8 " I think...there were a lot of instances where I avoided people to protect myself. I wouldn't bother anyone that way. If I don't know anything, if I don't take an interest in anything, if I don't get involved in anything...I won't have to go through unnecessary pain. But...at the same time, I might have kept myself from seeing...things that were very important...by always looking down. Even things I really...really...wanted... "
9 " It's just...understanding something and actually acting on it are two different things. We humans have a habit of taking something simple... and making it hard. It's annoying, I know. "
10 " I'm not a cat. And I'm not gonna turn into one even if you hug me . . . I was born like this. "
11 " It's not because I don't like people that I don't go. I search for a compromise within myself... and while I'm busy thinking about it, I miss my chance...every time. "
