| 0dbacd6 | I'm okay, honest." I sighed heavily. "Well, as okay as I can be after that." I squinted up at him. "Exactly how many jobs do you have, anyway? Barista, self-defense guru, fixit guy, parking enforcement officer--and by the way, does that mean you gave me the ticket I got last spring for two measly minutes of double parking when I ran into the library to return a book?" His shoulders relaxed with my teasing tone, and I was rewarded with the g.. | Tammara Webber | ||

| 8db2631 | As soon as we hit campus freshman year, Kennedy had pledged his father's fraternity. Despite my boyfriend's need for cliquish affiliation, I'd never shared that aspiration. He didn't seem to mind when I said I preferred not to rush any sororities, as long as I supported his future-politician need for brotherhood. He told me once he sort of liked that I was a GDI girlfriend. "A GDI? What's that?" He'd laughed and said, "It means you're godda.. | Tammara Webber | ||
| df58079 | I was scared to death of who I really was and what I really wanted. And somehow he knew. He'd always known. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 85a2248 | She was the bad habit I'd never broken, because I didn't fucking want to. | Tammara Webber | ||
| d396038 | But sometimes what seems like a gut feeling is just pride pretending to be instinct. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 2f2155d | when your parents tell you someone has gone to heaven, that person is never, ever coming back. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 485cd12 | Because having the ability to make my skin my own again saved my life. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 0662724 | I would be her bad boy, if that's what she wanted. If that's what she needed. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 2ed6dd8 | I'm fine. I'm good. But I wasn't fine. I was anything but fine. That night had shattered me. I'd walled myself in to keep from breaking further, but no defence will protect you from every possible pain. I was still just as breakable as everyone else - the girl in my arms included. But I could hope. And I could love. And maybe, I could heal. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 23ab203 | I've changed since I've known you. Not because you made me into someone else--but because you showed me a path I'd never paid attention to, and I chose to follow it."- Reid Alexander When you finally figure out what you really want, everything else pales in comparison." | Tammara Webber | ||
| 99e213b | Finally, here's to everyone who has survived something devastating--something that shattered your self-confidence and distorted your world in one blow. Whether you were fierce in the face of it or fell to pieces or shoved it out of sight for years--I don't care how you got here. Every day you are stronger. Every day you are healing. Every day that you survive, | Tammara Webber | ||

| 5a8e1bf | I wish I could read her mind. She's a pensive, deep-thinking girl, and it's not unusual for her to stare into space, lost in her thoughts. Normally, I'm fascinated when she does this - the shifting emotions crossing her face, marked by faint smiles, frowns or grimaces. That's not how I feel now, when I can't escape the uneasy awareness that her contemplations concern me. "What are you thinking about?" She blinks distractedly, and then stare.. | Tammara Webber | ||
| c8f0580 | After we broke up. You can say it. I won't shatter, you know.' We sit shoulder to shoulder on my bed, which seems as unbelievable as the subject we're calmly discussing. 'I know this might be difficult to hear, Reid, but I'm kind of over you.' He smirks. 'Yeah ... when you went all Operation Graham last spring and deployed me to seduce Emma - I kinda figured that you were well over me.' Graham again. I close my eyes and press my fingers to .. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 4410576 | Truth spoken out loud like that has a way of niggling at you from the inside, nudging your heart, tugging at your soul, lighting your mind with possibilities and sinking your gut with the risks behind them. Truth knows how to say I dare you and make you take notice, even if you'd rather disown it and remain insulated and safe. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 4243048 | Every man has an inner caveman. Unless he's a flaming queen, in which case he has an inner wild-eyed, jealous bitch--as in the case of an ex of mine. But I digress. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 1f782f5 | First love defies duplication. Before it, your heart is blank. Unwritten. After, the walls are left inscribed and gratified. When it ends, no amount of scrubbing will purge the scrawled oaths and sketched images, but sooner or later, you find that there's space for someone else, between the words and in the margins. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 75aea11 | But I'll say this, if what looks like the facts of the matter are conflicting with your feelings, then you need more information before deciding. -Even if your feelings seem really sure of themselves? -Especially then. | Tammara Webber | ||
| ce93fb7 | I was more scared than I let on, but that was nothing new. | Tammara Webber | ||
| d0247a5 | I was long done ignoring offhand sexism. Excusing minor asshattery too often led to more deliberate misogyny and sometimes the kind of abuse Mindi and Jacqueline had suffered. | Tammara Webber | ||
| 1b2d273 | I chugged half of the OJ down before commenting "You're serious about this." She cocked an eyebrow. "This is where I don't say 'as a heart attack,' right?" | Tammara Webber | ||
| 03e230c | Love is not the absence of logic but logic reexamined and recalculated heated and curved to fit inside the contours of the heart."- Tammara Webber" | Tammara Webber | ||

| d388f56 | Tengo la impresion de estar perdiendo el interes por todo. Tal vez se deba a que estoy creciendo o que la vida se esta volviendo mas asquerosa. | hard-times lessons-learned | Beatrice Sparks | |
| 1628881 | How is it possible for me to be so miserable and embarrassed and humiliated and beaten and still function, still talk and smile and concentrate? | Beatrice Sparks | ||
| a5e5415 | Dear precious Diary, I am baptizing you with my tears. I know we have to leave and that one day I will even have to leave my father and mother's home and go into a home of my own. But ever I will take you with me. | Beatrice Sparks | ||
| 308d9ae | Her father is a doctor and away from home most of the time just like Dad, and her mother nags a lot but then I guess all mothers do. If they didn't I'd hate to see what homes and yards and even the world would look like. Oh, I do hope I won't have to be a nagging mother, but I guess I'll have to be, else I don't see how anything will ever be accomplished. | Beatrice Sparks | ||

| 93e3b1d | Une grosse vieille dame a cote de moi se retenait a la courroie et sa robe sans manches laissait voir un incroyable nid d'oiseau sous son bras. C'est la chose la plus nauseabonde que j'aie jamais vue. J'espere que Tim ne l'a pas vue, il en serait devenu pederaste. | oiseau pilosité | Beatrice Sparks | |
| a86aa5f | Adolescenti prolaze tesko razdoblje. Odrasli se prema njima ponasaju kao prema djeci, ali ocekuju da se oni ponasaju kao odrasli. Zapovijedaju im kao da su male zivotinje, a onda ocekuju da reagiraju kao zrele, uvjek racionalne i samopouzdane osobe. Tesko je to vrijeme izgubljenosti i trazenja | Beatrice Sparks | ||

| ed63cdd | I feel grown-up. I am no longer in the category with the children, I am one of the adults! And I love it! They have accepted me as an individual, as a personality, as an entity. I belong! I am important! I am somebody! | Beatrice Sparks | ||

| 6b79957 | This life is beautiful. It's so goddamned beautiful I can hardly stand it. And I'm a glorious part of it! Everybody else is just taking up space. Goddamned stupid people. I'd like to shove life down all their throats and then maybe they'd understand what it's all about. | Beatrice Sparks | ||
| 1d67383 | I really am only one infinitely small part of an aching humanity. It's a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be a gory, blood-smeared earth. | Beatrice Sparks | ||
