“Moving when you’re 15 is terrifying. It’s not fun, it’s not an adventure, it’s not a wild ride to wonderful things, baby. In 9th grade I said goodbye to my friends and watched them fade away from me even while I was still standing there. When people get older, they’re supposed to cope better with separation, but I don’t know whether that’s true. Are we honestly meant to believe the important ones will stay with us wherever we go?”
