"Why are you laughing?" I asked
"Because.. I think it's so clichè. We write about stars and how they twinkle so nicely, and we write about the ocean that is so deep and blue and we compare these things to us and to our lives. I'm not some walking miracle and it just isn't fair to say that I'm one star in a galaxy when I so strongly wish upon one to even get close to feeling like a star. I just wish we would stop exciting expectations about life. We make everything seem a little less vague than it really is."
 
"Well maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. We tell ourselves that things are better than they actually are so that somehow, deep down, we might actually believe it."
