awkward possibility
It was rather awkward, insofar as we were both teetering between the possibility of something and the possibility of nothing.
meaningful thinking possibility
But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself.
matter realm-of-possibility
The words that matter always stay.
thinking people possibility
You think you know your possibilities. Then other people come into your life and suddenly there are so many more.
matter possibility used
We are so used to releasing words, we don't know what to do with them if they stay. No matter how many times we let them go, they come back. The words that matter always stay.
hopeless-romantic way possibility
Every person is a possibility. The hopeless romantics feel it most acutely, but even for others, the only way to keep going is to see every person as a possibility.
possibility
This isn't even something I've feared, because I never knew it was a possibility.
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.
bouncing guarantees love written
I love bouncing my words off of someone else's, and the fact that writing a story with someone else guarantees you'll get something you never, ever would have written on your own.
voice silent
That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
order needs feels
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
decision get-better belief
There are many things that can keep you in a relationship," I say. "Fear of being alone. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.
