Books—they Weren't Ladders Out Of The Abyss,

Do You Ever Wonder Whether People Would Like You More Or Less If They Could See Inside You?

But There's So Much To Do: Cigarettes To Smoke, Sex To Have, Swings To Swing On.

One Of The Reasons That Metaphor And Symbolism Are Important In Books Is Because They Are Also Important To Life. Like, For Example Say You're In High School And You're A Boy And You Say To A Girl: "do You Like Anyone Right Now?" - That's Not The Question You're Asking. The Question You're Asking Is, "do You Like Me Right Now."

Suffering Can Bend & Break Us. But It Can Also Break Us Open To Become The Persons God Intended Us To Be. It Depends On What We Do With The Pain. If We Offer It Back To God, He Will Use It To Do Great Things In Us & Through Us, Because Suffering Is Fertile... It An Grow New Life.

You Don't Remember What Happened. What You Remember Becomes What Happened.
