“You can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place.”
More from Sarah Dessen on Life
“I'd been through so much, falling short again and again, and only recently had found a place where who I was, right now, was enough.”
“Because it is so hard, in any life, to believe in what you can't fully understand.”
“All I'd ever thought I wanted was to be left alone. Until I was.”
“it's a lot easier to be lost than found.”
“Isn't it weird the way you remember things, when someone's gone?”
“When you don't know where you're going, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to have more than you need.”
“If this was my forever, I didn't want to spend another second of it here.”
“All those clean, fresh starts had made me forget what it was like, until now, to be messy and honest and out of control. To be real.”
“That's the thing, though. You always think you want to be noticed. Until you are”
“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.”
