I don’t need anyone else to distract me from myself anymore, like I always thought I would.
Charlotte Eriksson, You're Doing Just Fine

Laurie Halse Anderson
You’re not dead, but you’re not alive, either. You’re a wintergirl, Lia-Lia, caught in between the worlds. You’re a ghost with a beating heart. Soon you’ll cross the border and be with me. I’m so stoked. I miss you wicked.
Laurie Halse Anderson, Wintergirls
