jobs giving-up writing
I think the most important thing is just to write. It sounds so simple, but sometimes it's not. You can get so distracted - -by having to work other jobs, or what other people have to say about your writing - -but the one thing that really matters is that you just keep going, especially when you're working on a novel. It's so easy to get discouraged and give up.
people sometimes reason
Sometimes really, really bad things happen to people, and there is no explanation and no reason whatsoever.
real fresh-start honest
All those clean, fresh starts had made me forget what it was like, until now, to be messy and honest and out of control. To be real.

Your actions is like a raindrop; it falls into the pond making ripples and then its over...
thinking romance trying
I think if you're going to show a true representation of any one life, it can't be about any one thing. I try to see more of a full picture, with the romance just a single part.

kissing mirrors risk
Suddenly, I was just sure he was going to kiss me. He was there, I could feel his breath, the ground solid beneath us. But then something crossed his face, a thought, a hesitation, and he shifted slightly. Not now. Not yet.

The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever.
divorce heartfelt unhappy
It wasn't about being happy or unhappy. I just didn't want to be me anymore.
ugly lasts moments
It's always very pure, that last moment before an ugly, unsettling truth hits someone. The most stark of before-and-afters.
love heart fate
The fate of your heart is your choice and no one else gets a vote
needed
It was amazing how you could get so far from where you'd planned, and yet find it was exactly were you needed to be.
numbers long lines
The bottom line is, what defines you isn't how many times you crash, but the number of times you get back on the bike. As long as it's one more. you're all good.
girl school hair
When I was in high school, I was always really envious of those girls who seemed to have everything: the perfect hair, perfect clothes, perfect boyfriend, perfect life. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that nobody's life is perfect, and that those girls probably had a lot of the same problems I did.
