“This is how I felt when I stepped into Cambridge’s library my first year and had an entirely different major lined up alongside a naive resolve to do something for me.
Wonder.
That’s the feeling.
Like all these books hold possibilities and if I pick the right one, I’ll get swept away somewhere better and righter and truer.”

“There is selflessness in being selfish.”
― Sara Raasch, Go Luck Yourself

“I altered my whole being into shapes that fit voids in everyone else’s lives so they’d stay, so my life would look perfect, so I wouldn’t be alone again. But I never asked myself what shape I wanted to take.”
― Sara Raasch, Go Luck Yourself

“High school matters because it shapes how we see the world when we enter it. We carry the hurt with us, the confirmed fears, the insecurities people used against us. But we also carry the moment when someone gave us a chance, even though they didn't have to. The moment we watched a friend make a choice we didn't understand at first because they're brave in a different way. The moment a teacher told us they believed in us. The moment we told someone who we are and they accepted us without question. The moment we felt in love.
"Most of the things we are feeling right now are things we're feeling for the first time. We're learning what it means to feel them. What we mean to one another. Of course that matters.”
