“Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing.” ShouldWritingMindDoeI CanBookGrowsLinesHappenedTreeCatBoringTalesWanderBeastDullScreamSlipsBatsJournalStraight LinesOwlFlicker Book:My Name is Mina Source: My Name is Mina
“I don't want to be little again. But at the same time I do. I want to be me like I was then, and me as I am now, and me like I'll be in the future. I want to be me and nothing but me. I want to be crazy as the moon, wild as the wind and still as the earth. I want to be every single thing it's possible to be. I'm growing and I don't know how to grow. I'm living but I haven't started living yet.” KnowsWantLittlesStillsEarthGrowsHealingKnow HowGrowingCrazyHavensWindMoonTeensBeing Crazy Author:David Almond
