He wipes tears off my face and then snot. He uses his hands.... - Nina LaCour, Hold Still

"dear today, i spend all of you pretending i'm okay when i'm not, pretending i'm happy when i'm not, pretending about everything to everyone."

"It isn't the happy ending Ingrid and I had dreamed up, but it's all a part of what I'm working through. The way life changes. The way people and things disappear. Then appear, unexpectedly, and hold you close."

"I’ll make a swing so I can reach the places I can’t reach yet."

"It was the moment I realized what music can do to people, how it can make you hurt and feel so good all at once."

"I don't want to hurt you or anybody so please forget about me. Just try. Find yourself a better friend."
