Thoughts from The Sky is Everywhere

I love it when I discover meaningful quotes to guide me...
Here is a keeper courtesy of Jandy Nelson.

"I've never once thought about the interpretative, the storytelling aspect of life, of my life. I always felt like I was in a story, yes, but not like I was the author of it, or like I had any say in its telling whatsover. You can tell your story any way you damn well please. It's your solo." (page 185)
