“Where do we get the energy to keep on hoping and praying that things will get better? What makes us believe we DESERVE a happy life to begin with? Is this just an American phenomenon? We just assume that we are entitled to happiness? And when we do get the things we wished so hard for, are we happy? Or do we just want more...? And what about people in less developed countries who's lives are REALLY hard? People who live in places where infant death, widespread disease, rape, general oppression, poverty and starvation are the norm. Why do THEY keep going? Do they hope for happiness too, or do they think there are no other options but to keep living. I need to know.”

“In an incredibly perverse way, I want to hear the finality and the death of this happy, jovial reminder of what a blessing Kaylee was crash to the ground below, as if I am hearing all of my hopes and dreams for my perfect and joyful life shatter on the emotionless ground under my childhood bedroom window.”
