I found a new and surprising strength inside of me, I found it at the bottom of a dark and lonely place, but I found it. And unfortunately, that’s where we find most of life’s treasures.

It’s nobody’s fault. It’s not my fault. I didn’t do anything wrong, I know that now. It’s just the way it is. Sometimes things just don’t work out.

So many things to be and not be; I am nothing, but I’m everything, yet I must, I must, I must.

Nothing can ever be the same when all the time we’re changing.
Sometimes it would be easier to be a human if there weren’t other humans.
They say you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with, he says, glaring at me, nostrils flaring like a wolf. Doesn’t say a lot about the company you keep, does it. That’s one, he points in Paddy’s direction. I wonder who the other four losers are in your life.
