Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.”

    Mason Deaver
    “I don't know whether to cry or scream or do both. It feels like I've done more than enough of both. And it feels like I haven't done enough.

    And at some point, I know I'm going to have to crawl out of this bed and pick up the pieces but right now, it can be just me. Just me, these four walls, and this bed.

    The universe doesn't have to exist outside this bedroom, and that's perfectly okay.”

    “It's such bullshit that there's stigma around being closeted. We get shit for ''living a lie'' just because we want to survive. I don't want to keep losing everyone I'm close to. I don't want to get disowned and kicked out of my house. It's self preservation, not dishonesty. I don't owe anyone the truth, and I'll take my damn time with talking about it.”

    Benjamin Alire Sáenz
    “Stories were living inside us. I think we were born to tell our stories. After we died, our stories would survive. Maybe it was our stories that fed the universe the energy it needed to keep on giving life.

    Maybe all we were meant to do on this earth was to keep on telling stories. Our stories—and the stories of the people we loved.”
