We accept the love we think we deserve.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love.
You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love.
I am both happy and sad, and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.
You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.
Some love stories aren’t epic novels. Some are short stories. But that doesn’t make them any less filled with love.
I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn’t try to sleep with people, even if they could have.
We didn’t talk about anything heavy or light. We were just there together. And that was enough.
So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I’m still trying to figure out how that could be.
We can’t choose where we come from, but we can choose where we go from there.
In that moment, I swear we were infinite.
But I know that I want to live. Life is too ironic not to live.
We are who we are for a lot of reasons, and maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset.
There’s nothing like the deep breaths after crying that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
You’re alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you want to love, and it’s about dreams.
I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.
Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.
So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
Do you ever think if people heard our conversations, they’d lock us up?
Not everyone has a sob story, Charlie, and even if they do, it’s no excuse.
So at least through my eyes, love and death are things that are bigger than us. If we are only the sum of the people that spent time together, with no regard for time spent apart, then everything we’ve seen is individual.
Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
It’s kind of like when you look at yourself in the mirror and you say your name. And it gets to a point where none of it seems real.
Right now, we are alive and in this moment, I swear we are infinite.
And I thought, ‘Wow, all of these moments finally add up to something.’
It made me feel infinite.
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won’t tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn’t change the fact that they were upset.
I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people.
I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder.
And as much as you hurt me, I would have been worse off if you never gave me a chance.
I just want to make sure that the first person who kisses you loves you.
I know it’s hard to believe in someone else, but I think you’re doing us a disservice by not believing in yourself.
But because things change, I feel that we are only invincible for a short moment.
Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes I think that the only perspective is to really be there.
Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.
But you can’t spend your whole life apologizing.
You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love.
I love you. I just want you to know that.
Even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
Right now, we are alive, and in this moment, I swear we are infinite.
I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive.
