"I'm thinking back to when I missed everyone I now loathe. What about them was I missing? Everything about them in some way annoys me and everything about me ends up annoying them.
I'm thinking of the fleeting thoughts that always weakened my knees. Why does that still come back to haunt me?
H.! H.! A dagger in my back!
Bando: why this jealousy? Jealousy is such a cruel emotion. I heard smiles were free. Why do I count each one greedily?
I allow myself to be disappointed by someone's disappointment in me. I am disgusted in myself and it seems like I can't stop it from reoccurring."
"I told Nate that I'm going to become a writer one day. He said, Really? So you're going to be like a millionaire or something?
I said, No, I'll probably give all that money away.
Nate, And do what with it?
I said, Build a school.
Nate, A writing school?
I said, No, an elementary school.
Nate, Are you going to teach? Be a principal or something?
No, I'll just build it, I said."
