Pack Up the Moon.

these are passages from the most recent book i’ve read. its called Pack Up the Moon. i loved it.

- pain is hard to put into words and in life there is always pain. its as natural as birth or death. pain makes us who we are, it reaches us and tames us, it can destroy and it can save us.

-its funny how the world works, how we win and lose, how we can never really know whats ahead though we never stop planning. how we survive and move on. theres sadness that comes with survival, but also more joy to be had.

-you have to go into the world and live your own life. you have to follow your heart and make your own mistakes and nobody is perfect. not even that kid with the golden hair and the beauty-queen eyes that will sit opposite you on the bus when you’re feeling like some old dog left out in the rain or that boy who every boy  wants to be and every girl wants to be with or even the genius being primed to be the next Bill Gates. they will all know pain and hurt and rejection. but they’ll also know love and laughter and joy just like you.

-after night comes day. after death comes life. even at your darkest time look around because you are never really alone. you are loved.

such a good book!!!
