Kindle Notes & Highlights
Only they weren’t completely alone. Levi was still in the room, existing on the fuzzy edges, watching his best friend fall in love with the woman Levi wanted. Watching the dream of her slip right through his fingers.
“When someone leaves us too soon, you start to question everything. You want to be sure that you’re honoring them with how you live.”
“They say humor can deflate the biggest problems but a beautiful woman’s smile won’t help in the slightest.”

“We live in this world where one person is paid millions because he does one thing well, yet we can’t feed kids or look after our vets or put roofs over everyone’s heads. People will pay two hundred bucks to watch a hockey game, will read about the diet of a guy who bashes a puck around for a few minutes a night, but they’re fine with their fellow citizens dropping dead around them. Priorities are so fucked up.”
That wasn’t the world she wanted to live in. Shunting the responsibility to not be harassed off to women should not be the answer.
How about education, awareness, responsibility? How about making our next generation of boys understand respect?
