2 " It's stupid because I don't even know her, but sometimes you see someone and there's just this flicker. Like a light bulb that glows around the person, making them shine brighter than all the others. It's not that they're more attractive or smarter or funnier than anyone else.

6 " I discovered that I think God is a more generous savior than some would want us to believe. Ultimately, none of us can truly know how we'll be judged. And any mere human who thinks their judgement is somehow mightier than another's, well, they're in the wrong... Is it a sin? I can't answer that with a yes or a no. I'm not the one deciding. There are certainly people in the world making dreadful choices who love people of the opposite sex. Are you a beautiful person who is kind and true and dear and deserving of faith and justice just like the rest of us? Absolutely. I don't think God would have put you here only to torment you... So my short answer is, don't worry about it. You're perfect as you are. "
