Page 10: "Sometimes I miss how simple life used to be." "When did everything get so complicated?"
Page 11: "I hate how everyone's stuck in front of screens all the time. It's like people don't want to interact with the real world anymore." "Every collage tells a story in such a unique way. They're like pieces of a puzzle or chapters in a book. They can be subtle and speak volumes at the same time. I love how the final effect is greater than the sum of its parts."
Page 12: "Standing here..., I'm overwhelmed with possibility. May I really can have the life I want someday."
Page 13: "...Everyone has their thing...No one is perfect. You can work on one problem, but even if you solve it there's always going to be another problem. So your 'thing' is your biggest problem at any time."
Page 37: "College is awesome in so many ways. The freedom. The new people. Getting to know yourself in a way that's impossible in high school." "Inspiration is everywhere. The energy feeds my soul."
Page 39: "I'm living in the Now. The Now is all we ever have."
Page 45: "It must be awesome to know what you want to do. I know that I want to make the world a better place. I just don't exactly how yet."
Page 51: "You have to take a risk if you want things to change." "But it's scary every time you get closer to someone... No matter who started it."
Page 52: "We've all been there. Feeling like things will never get better." "Following your heart means allowing the possibility of finding true love to be stronger than your fear of rejection."
Page 55: "When you have a strong connection with someone instantly, when it feels like you've known them forever even though you've just met, the intensity is undeniable."
Page 58: "She makes me feel like when good things happen to me, they're happening to her, too."
Page 68: "...It's like people don't appreciate meaningful connections anymore."
Page 70: "This..makes me think about how different we all are. What makes one person obsess over stamp collecting while someone else has never even noticed stamps? Are our proclivities mostly due to environmental influence? Is a lifetime love of figurine collecting genetic? The awesome thing is that no matter how esoteric your interests are, you can probably find at least one other person who feels the same way."
Page 72: "When other people see my work, I want them to feel the exact same way I did when I was creating it."
Page 81: "...I like making you happy."
Page 85: "...I get how fun it could be. It's just not for me."
Page 90: "We'll go our separate ways again. Except this time will be different. This time we'll stay together...Tomorrow isn't goodbye. Tomorrow is only see you soon."
Page 93: "It's really about changing your lifestyle. You have to take a holistic approach if you want to look better and feel better."
Page 95: "Isn't that what you're supposed to do? Share the unedited version of your lives?"
Page 96: "I think I'll just go with the flow. Say it when it feels right. The worst would be if it sounds forced."
Page 122: "But Skye is different."
Page 104: "I'm not sure what I want to do yet... I don't know what I want to be, but I know what I don't want to be. Typical. Average. I want more from my life than to sleepwalk through the expected motions. I want my life to really mean something. I want it to be amazing."
Page 135: "She's in that frustrating/euphoric/traumatic new relationship phase of uncertainty where all you want to do is impress the boy. Even if it compromises who you are. Even if it turns you into someone you don't recognize. Why do girls get like that? It's like we'd rather be who we think the boy wants us to be instead of actually being ourselves."
Page 137: "Just because I have less relationship experience doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about." "I guess when you're carrying so much weight around, you never know when it might get too heavy to keep carrying." "
Page 140: " 'I hate all this stress...When did everything start sucking so hard?' 'When we weren't looking.' "
Page 144: "The thing about saying 'I love you' is that there's no going back once you say it." "Trusting that we'll make this work isn't easy. But it's what I have to do if we're going to move forward."
Page 163: "You can choose not to be in the middle anymore."
Page 169: "It took her a while to trust that she's enough for him. But she finally got there. She realized that if she can't be herself around him, what's the point?"
Page 171: "But you tolerate the unknown because what you do know is powerful."
Page 176: "Skye needs to know more of me in order to understand who I really am. The parts I was showering her weren't enough. If I'm going to trust her with my whole heart, I can't hide parts I don't like. I have to trust that she'll still love me with all of my flaws."
Page 183: "I can't wait to figure out what I want to do with my life. Who I really am. How I'll make the world a better place."
Page 186: "The last thing I want to do is hide anything... Especially after realizing how important it is to share all the parts of my life with her."
Page 194: "He's still scared of being hurt...he keeps holding back. It's like her can't share his life with me completely." "We all have baggage. But at some point, you have to open those bags and confront what's inside."
Page 195: "It's weird that we're dealing with all these changes. If someone told me this would be our lives two years ago, I wouldn't have believed them."
Page 196: "She makes everything look so perfect. So easy."
Page 197: "We've had our share of challenges. There will always be challenges in a relationship. The important thing is working as a team to overcome them." "It is easier with the right person. A good test of a relationship is how well you both deal with challenges. If one person is more invested, it shows. If you're with the wrong person, it feels likes too much work...If you're unhappy more than you're happy, it's not the relationship for you."
Page 199: "Guess it goes to show that when you have enough passion for something, anything is possible."
Page 201: "All I want to do now is follow my heart. In all aspects of life." "Desperation isn't my most attractive quality." "You came late to the realization that you belong here. Nevertheless, it's clear that you belong."
Page 207: "Baggage is emotional turmoil that accumulates from painful experiences, right? Who hasn't had at least one painful experience?"
Page 210: "Things happen that you can't explain to anyone else. Sometimes you can't even explain them to yourself. The connection you have defies all logic."
