I don't regret anything I've ever done in life, any choice that I've made. But I'm consumed with regret for the things I didn't do, the choices I didn't make, the things I didn't say.

“Gay Pride was not born of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn’t a Straight Pride movement, be thankful you don’t need one.”

Sometimes pain is so unmanageable that the idea of spending another day with it seems impossible.

...happiness comes again if you let it.

Adam Silvera, More Happy Than Not
