Lovely is a lovely word that should be used more often.

You saved my life. Why couldn't I save yours?

I think this is the ugliest place I’ve ever seen. Not just here. The whole state.” I hear my parents telling me not to be negative, which is funny because I’ve always been the happy one. It’s Eleanor who was moody. “I used to think that. But then I realized, believe it or not, it’s actually beautiful to some people. It must be, because enough people live here, and they can’t all think it’s ugly.” He smiles out at the ugly trees and the ugly farmland and the ugly kids as if he can see Oz. As if he can really, truly see the beauty that’s there. In that moment I wish I could see it through his eyes.

You are driving me crazy. You have been driving me crazy for weeks.

Because it's not a lie if it's how you feel.

The thing is, there are good days and bad days. I feel almost guilty saying they aren't all bad.
