“Be honest: Are you surprised that I didn't realize sooner? Are you surprised that it took me so long to even /think/ the word -- death? Dying? Dead?

Do you think I was being stupid? Naive?

Try not to judge. Remember that we're the same, you and me.

I thought I would live forever too.”
― Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

“Sometimes I'm afraid to go to sleep because of what I'm leaving behind.”
