“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.”

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Can't they see the scars they've left?
The tears they've made you cry?
The sleepless nights spent searching for the reason they passed you by.
You're broken, worn, and hopeless
Barely hanging on.
Yet you take it day by wretched day,
Song by hopeful song.
