frienship

When you are joyful, when you say yes to life and have fun and project positivity all around you, you become a sun in the center of every constellation, and people want to be near you.

I Can Be Alone and it's Okay.

I got through it, and I wore it like a badge of honor__ Can Be Alone and it's Okay.

It was nice. Even in high school, I__ mostly had makeshift friends forged by the shared status of outcast. It was rare for me to discuss things so easily to someone outside of my family, but somehow Jill got me.

I know he__ a realist, he__ okay with being alone, and he helps people when he thinks no one is watching.

You shouldn__ have to pretend to be as excited as I am just to make me happy. If it comes to that, you shouldn__ have to pretend to be anything around me. Friends should be real with each other

I suppose that means you don__ want any band-aids, either,_ I said, a touch more bitterly than I__ meant to.

Well, if you can accept that I__ a great big geeky fangirl, then I guess I can accept that you__e a skeptic and a realist.

I bundled in my own blanket and reflected on the strange and somewhat unexpected friendship that was slowly developing between Davin and myself. It was clear to me that he needed a friend, but for reasons unknown to me, thought that it was better for him to be alone.

When the moment shifts, and you realize you don't actually want to be alone, that underneath the bravado is an ache that won__ quite fade away, you__e not only aware of how lonely you are, but how much you've been lying to yourself.

As much as I cared about him, I wasn__ a slave to fate. I could choose to ignore my feelings, strong as they were. It would be painful, but no more so than letting myself pine for my friend.

I had always thought that I was fine with being alone. Halfway through high school, I moved from Brazil to America, and it took me forever to make friends. I had culture shock of virtually every kind, besides which I was awkward, geeky, and shy. So I ate alone, telling myself that it was fine while I watched other people have normal conversations with their friends.

Being in love with your best friend is problematic.

When you are without friends, the next best thing is an enemy who knows you well.

You__e impossible._ I sighed. __nd really weird. No wonder Jared likes you.___s that a good thing or not?__ shrugged. __ou two have bittersweet panty-dropping connection.___ross.

But when you choose your family, you get to choose how it is between you, too.

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over. So in a series of acts of kindness there is, at last, one which makes the heart run over.

Love is sensual and celestial.
