It was frightening to realize how fast things could go wrong.

You need to wake yourself up and take a grab at life. No one is going to hand it to you.

Some people are just different, even in the same family.

It was the cruelest of destiny’s tricks, the death of a young person.

Sometimes, if you aren't sure about something, you just have to jump off the bridge and grow your wings on the way down.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that's why they're here. You'll have that gift forever.
