tears are handy for washing away troubling and sad feeling, but when you grow up, you'll learn that there are things so sad, they can never be washed away by tears that there are painful memories that should never be washed away. so people who are truly strong laugh when they want to cry. they endure all of the pain and sorrow while laughing with everybody else

      people always say they feel awkward about having eighth-grader syndrome. they say that they don't want to talk about it, that they want to forget about it for good. but does that really get rid of our crazy old selves and their wild fantasies.... back when we thought we were special, when we thought something greater watched over us ? people sometime tell lies, imagine a completely different fantasy world, dream about the distant future, or invent a lover's relationship that only exists inside their head. this process repeats from the day we are born until the they we die. forever and ever.

     orang selalu mengatakan bahwa mereka merasa canggung tentang memiliki delapan-grader sindrom. mereka mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak ingin membicarakannya, bahwa mereka ingin melupakan hal itu untuk kebaikan. tetapi apakah itu benar-benar menyingkirkan diri kita gila tua dan fantasi liar mereka .... kembali ketika kami pikir kami khusus, ketika kita berpikir sesuatu yang lebih besar mengawasi kita? orang kadang-kadang berbohong, bayangkan fantasi dunia yang sama sekali berbeda, mimpi tentang masa depan yang jauh, atau menciptakan hubungan kekasih yang hanya ada di dalam kepala mereka. proses ini mengulangi dari hari kita lahir sampai kita mati. selama-lamanya
