deals ifs
And If only I could, I'd make a deal with God...
self preservation ifs
Self-preservation isn't worth it if you can't live with the self you're preserving
boys obsessed ifs
The boy I loved didn't know I existed. Then again, he was obsessed with Camus, so he didn't know if any of us existed.
ifs
You are happy even if you are afraid to admit it.
want wants-to-be-alone ifs
But if I didn’t want to be alone, then why didn’t I want to be with anyone else?
trying enough ifs
Everyone tried with me. And everytime, it felt like the whole point of life was to see if trying was ever enough.
realizing ifs masochism
If there wasn't a word for it, would we realize our masochism as much?
way ifs
But whether or not you are here, you are here—because these words are for you, and they wouldn't exist if you weren't here in some way.
want lovable ifs
If you want to be loved, be a lovable. It's a good place to start.
hate ifs loses
If I lose it now, I will lose you, too. I know that. I hate it.
world ifs knows
If you let the world in, you open yourself up to the world. Even if the world doesn't know that you're there.
finishing love novels people vampire wanting
People read vampire novels and say, 'Oh I want to read another vampire novel.' People read fantasy, and they're like, 'Oh I love fantasy.' I don't know that people are necessarily finishing 'Hunger Games' and immediately wanting to read another dystopian tale.
author perfect
There's no such thing as a perfect person, so it makes no sense to write a perfect person. I don't know any author who'd try. And we write characters, not representations of groups.
honestly matters poorly reflects second true whether
I can honestly say I've never thought for a second about whether a character reflects poorly on any group. All that matters to me is that the character is true to my belief in who he or she is.
