It must be comforting, to have a faith like that. To believe so concretely that there’s someone—something— out there watching guard, keeping us safe, testing us only with what we can handle.

I've never been good at emotional stuff. Except anger. Anger, I'm good at.

I want to stop running away from everything.
I want to find something to run toward.

You can be surrounded by people and still be lonely. You can be the most popular person in school, envied by every girl and wanted by every boy, and still feel completely worthless. The world can be laid at your feet and you can still not know what you want from it.

Sometimes people think they want to know things, but then they hear the answer and realize they'd prefer to be in the dark.

Whatever you decide, don't let it be because you don't think you have a choice.
