177 " never buy anything new if you can get it used for a fraction of the price "
178 " I loved meeting new people. I loved feeling connected Feeling interesting. Growing up here, I was so fucking lonely, and I have always felt like there was something wrong with me. But if I told myself I went somewhere else, it would be different. There'd be people that like me. "
