“ Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I forget how amazing the world is. ”
It's easy to look back and see it, and it's easy to give the advice. But the sad fact is, most people don't look beneath the surface until it's too late.
~ Wendelin Van Draanen

Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss.... He turned to me. But every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.
...Next time you're faced with a choice, do the right thing. It hurts everyone less in the long run.
