People Who Seem To Be Scared Of People with Opinions.

Okay, I need to confess: that title has absolutely NOTHING to do with this post but, uh, yeah. It just kinda came to mind. So, now, sitting on the floor of my dad's living room desperately counting down the hours till I shall go home, I feel like saying some stuff.

Stuff That Really Stopped Me In My Tracks Lately (mostly quotes):
1) "If only you knew." Mason, sometime in that stupid book that I will never finish.
2) "McKinley turned to her and spoke his last words: 'We are all going'...There comes a time when we realize that our parents cannot save themselves or us, that everyone who wades through time eventually gets dragged out to sea by the undertow--that, in short, we are all going." Looking For Alaska by John Green, pg. 120
3) "Thomas Edison's last words were: 'It's very beautiful over there.' I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful." Looking For Alaska by John Green, pg. 221

In this world where we're surrounded by idiots, creepy stalkers and immature freaks, just remember that murder is illegal and sarcasm is way easier and more satisfying anyway.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then its not the end.

Somewhere, somehow, in our lives we realize that, according to that book, life isn't a labirynth of suffering as much as it is a tunnel. Over time, your eyes adjust to the drakness in the tunnel and you can finally see the light at the end.
I just wanted to say hi. Ya know, cause I'm nice like that.
"Why are you standing next to that big, poorly disguised hole?" says someone.
"Oh, cause I wanted to see if anyone would fall in it."
"That's a good reason."


Yes, I just thought of those last ones out of my own head. I do do that sometimes...
Now, I know, this is amazing, but I'm actually going to go write my book. Now shhhh.
