Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor.

What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.

Hope, it is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of hope is dangerous.

My nightmares are usually about losing you. I'm okay once I realize you're here.

It takes ten times as long to put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.

You're my best friend, my first and only love, and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen

It was him or me. I chose me. But I feel dead too.
