"People - not just in their teenage years - hold on to this fantasy of love when they're not ready to have a real relationship."
"Dear Baby, I hope someday somebody wants to hold you for 20 minutes straight and that's all they do. They don't pull away. They don't look at your face. They don't try to kiss you. All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight, without an ounce of selfishness to it."

"Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever."
"Yeah, I like being on my own. I do. I tend to be a loner, so I'm okay. I'm not okay when I have to be around everyone all the time."
"I feel better in my mind when I work out. It makes everything better."
"I want to be able to raise my kid. I was totally being a martyr about it at first, thinking I could totally do it on my own, which I did for a while. I've hired a babysitter before, but as for a full-time caregiver... for a control freak like me, it ain't gonna happen!"
"When you are 16 you are supposed to be doing cool things, like sneaking alcohol, not living in Disney World and doing skits about mice."
