"in all my years, not a day passes where awe does not strike me at the beauty of this world. don't ever lose the memory of every face whose strength helped you keep this light from fading. every single face."
"i don't think it's the faces that keep this light from fading. i think it is what it is. we're lucky to experience it. a few are lucky to think it's beautiful. you taught me that. i don't have to appreciate this, especially not after what i've seen. but i do. only because of what i've seen."
"...i'm proud of you."
"thank you. that's all i ever wanted. it's weird, once you reach a life goal and then realize you have the rest of your life. i guess i just find new goals. sometimes it's hard being a prodigy, because then you just grow up to be a regular adult."
Woah you had halloween in your catholic school?? (→ was in one too but sadly they never acknowledged it lmao)
haha not rly!! it was just an excuse for them to let us play fancy dress for a day, cuz it was just a fancy dress competition and nothing else. they don't do it anymore tho which is sad
