“Both the moon and love are romantic and enchanting, can be moody and mysterious, possess dark sides, and have gravitational pulls on us that we just can’t control, no matter how hard we try.”
― Lauren Kung Jessen, Lunar Love

“Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn’t know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn’t even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants.”
― Abby Jimenez, Part of Your World

“It's like there's this idea that you have to earn your label through suffering. And then you have to prove it with who you date, how you dress, how other people perceive you.”
― Becky Albertalli, Imogen, Obviously

“I just wanted to be another person. I found it difficult to be myself. It’s easier to pretend to be someone else than it is to be my real, authentic self. There are fewer stakes. When I’m not myself and people reject me, or I don’t fit in, I don’t have to take it personally. They weren’t really rejecting me. Being my real self makes me more vulnerable. When I operate in life as if I’m playing a game, losing feels less significant. I can just start over. Play again.”
