She was more a parent to me than my birth parents were. She took me in, fed, dressed me, but most importantly, she treated me with respect. She taught me that my abilities were nothing to be ashamed of, nothing I should try so hard to deny. She convinced me that what I had was a gift-not a curse- and that I shouldn't let other people's narrow minds and fears determine how I love, what I do, or how I perceive myself in the world. She actually made me believe that in no way, shape, or form did their uninformed opinions make me a freak.","author":"Alyson Noel","tags":["alyson-noel","be-yourself","ever","freaks","jude"],"id":48452,"author_id":"Alyson+Noel"},{"text":"I give him a smile I don't really own.","author":"Alyson Noel","tags":["smile"],"id":57888,"author_id":"Alyson+Noel"},{"text":"Rules should always be bent, if not broken.

It's a simple case of like gets like, the ultimate balancing act, nothing more, nothing less. And if you're deteremined to fix every situation you deem as bad, or difficult, or somehow unsavory, then you rob the person of their own chance to fix it, learn from it, or even grow from it. Some things, no matter how painful, happen for a reason. A reason you or I may not be able to grasp at first sight, not without knowing a person's entire life story—their cumulative past. And to just barge in and interfere, no matter how well-intentioned, would be akin to robbing them of their journey. Something that's better not done.","author":"Alyson Noel","tags":["inspirational","thought-provoking"],"id":62444,"author_id":"Alyson+Noel"},{"text":"Our past may shape us, but it doesn't define us.","author":"Alyson Noel","tags":["define-yourself","past"],"id":66642,"author_id":"Alyson+Noel"},{"text":"The love of every single one of my lives.","author":"Alyson Noel","tags":["immortality","love","reincarnation"],"id":69802,"author_id":"Alyson+Noel"},{"text":"We don't always get the journey we want.
