121 " That’s how the truth works. If you avoid looking at it, you can pretend it’s not there. "
― Tarryn Fisher , F*ck Love
122 " People rely on you. You can’t just go down a different path and not warn anyone. "
123 " I’m not brave enough to change with everyone watching me. I want to do it alone. I want it to be real. "
124 " That’s easy to say until the person you love is happy with someone else. Girls always choose men, and men always choose the wrong girls. It’s an endless cycle. "
125 " Neptune looked at a tree I did last week and made a weird sound in the back of his throat. I’m no grunting expert, but it sounded like impressed approval to me. I’ve imitated that sound twice since then—once at a restaurant with Neil who asked me if I had something lodged in my throat, and once on the phone with my mother who wanted to bring me soup for the cold I was coming down with. Some people aren’t good with expressive communication. It’s not their fault. "
126 " He looks at me then, and suddenly I know that people are what you truly need to be afraid of. People with eyes that communicate. People who can hurt you so hard you'd wish you were never born. "
127 " Aside from the unbearable heart pain, feelings of inadequacy, sporadic tears, and hopelessness, I kind of like being single. You’re not responsible to tell anyone where you are or who you’re with. It’s freedom and loneliness, exhilaration and inner calm. "
128 " There is only war in love,” he says. “If anyone tells you otherwise, they’re lying. The constant fight to keep love relevant, while growing and changing as a human, is the battle. You fight for them, fight to keep them, fight to love them. Do you fight for yourself, or do you fight for the relationship? "
129 " Life is but a carousel of four seasons. Unpredictable for the most part. Happy. Unhappy. Content. Searching. Mess up the order, and they still rebound at one point or another. "
130 " You have one lousy dream, and you think you’re destined for coloring book greatness. "
131 " He’s wearing a white button down, black pants, and suspenders. He’s not my type, but the getup is pretty sexy. Like, put your brother in suspenders and he might become hot too. Okay, that was too far, and I need to stop watching Game of Thrones. Kit "
132 " I find a job; I go back to being me. I don’t remember my dreams anymore. "
133 " The people who blind themselves to the truth. They’re just trying to survive.” I’m distracted for a minute, my finger suspended over the camera button on my phone. “Who wants to survive without truth?” Greer shrugs, and her shirt slips off her slender shoulder. Perfect. “Maybe people who have had too much of it. Or people who have had too little. Or people who are too shallow to appreciate its hard edges. "
134 " Instead, I clear my throat. “Oh yeah? You almost became a dad, Kit. That’s a scary life cocktail you’re mixing.” He’s quiet for a long time. "
135 " I feel so pouty. I am just a muggle. A beige bitch muggle. It’s a sad day in Helena Land. "
136 " If each of our lives represented a page in book, happiness would be the punctuation. "
137 " This is something I’ve learned. You can’t run away to find yourself. Yourself is there no matter where you go. The difference is, if you’re running, you’ll be too busy to pick up the sword and face your enemies. Sometimes your enemy will be you; sometimes it will be those with the power to hurt you. Take off your shoes and stop running. Live barefoot and fucking fight. I "
138 " I love it when you speak Harry Potter to me. "
139 " Do you speak Parseltongue?” I ask. “What?” His face screws up. "
140 " What does it feel like? I ask myself. Like cold air in your lungs after too much warm air. Maybe this is how you feel when you find your place in the world. "
