sometimes words are not big enough to contain all the feelings you are trying to pour into them.

Everytime I look at a zebra, I can't figure out whether it's black with white stripes or white with black stripes, and that frustrates me.

Love is not a because, it's a no matter what.

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

Until this moment, I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice, along the very same fault lines.
