“Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.”
― Jandy Nelson, I'll Give You the Sun

“who are you
really?

you are not a name
or a height, or a weight
or a gender
you are not an age
and you are not where you are from

you are your favorite books
and the songs stuck in your head
you are your thoughts
and what you eat for breakfast
on Saturday mornings

you are a thousand things
but everyone chooses
to see the million things
you are not

you are not
where you are from
you are
where you are going
and i'd like
to go there
too”

“The truth is life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.”
