"You
live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are
living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that
you are not living, that you are hibernating."
"The best part about growing up is the realization that you can be
whatever kind of adult you want to be. You don’t have to live up to
standards or fit in-between lines at all. No one tells you this enough
when you’re younger."
