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.

But as long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.

Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there.

the truth about forever is that it is happening right now

Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really about. It was twenty minutes, or a hundred years, or just this instant, or any instant I wished would last and last. But there was only one truth about forever that really mattered, and that was this: it was happening.

If this was my forever, I didn't want to spend another second of it here.
