advice want ifs
It's only advice. Ignore it if you want.
talking want instinct
If this was my instinct talking, I didn‟t want to hear what it was saying.
important want found
But it was important to simply be sought, even if you didn‟t ever want to be found.
dad your-dad wanted
Eventually, it wasn't even your dad I wanted, just anybody. Anybody at all.
cutting wanted eighteen
Once I turned eighteen, I could cut myself off from everyone and finally get what I wanted, which was to be on my own, once and for all. ~Ruby, pg 38
mother want way
As far as I was concerned, we'd come to a draw: I hadn't wanted to come, and she didn't want me to leave. We were even. But I knew my mother wouldn't see it that way. Lately, we didn't seem to see anything the same.
believe people want
Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to, Haven. Sometimes the people you choose to believe are wrong.
boys sometimes wanted
So this had been all I wanted, a boy who understood how I felt. Now, though, I sometimes wished for more.
forever want lasts
…You don’t want the best of times to be just one thing, forever. You have to have a lot of bests of times, each one topping the last. You know?
kids perfect want
When you have a kid, you sign on for the whole package: good, bad, everything in between. you can't just dip in and out, picking and choosing the parts you want and quitting when it's not perfect.
want easy backwards
Maybe you could go backwards and forwards at the same time, but it wasn't easy. You had to want to.
thinking wanted loses
Right now, though, I wanted not to think forward or backward, but only to lose myself in the words.
forever want ifs
If this was my forever, I wouldn't want to spend it here.
sweat perfect want
It took a lot of work to be perfect. If you didn’t want to break a sweat, there was no point in even bothering.
