Suicide made no sense: situations change, people change, and the problems of today may find a solution tomorrow. So long as you’re in the game you can change the final score, but if you take yourself out of it, you’ll never know how it might have ended, and you let the world win.","author":"Mirella Muffarotto","tags":["coming-of-age-love-story","destiny","epic-love","fate","love-and-romance","love-hurts","suicide","suicide-thoughts","teen-drama","teen-problems","teen-romance","teenage-love","teens","young-adult","young-adult-contemporary","young-adult-fiction"],"id":2847,"author_id":"Mirella+Muffarotto"},{"text":"Yes,” I whisper so the others won’t hear, “but being afraid is good because it means I still have more to lose.","author":"Caroline George","tags":["fear","loss","strength","survival","the-end-of-the-world","young-adult-fiction"],"id":3019,"author_id":"Caroline+George"},{"text":"We were both filled with the enthusiasm that comes from being with someone you automatically click with.","author":"Megan Rivers","tags":["megan-rivers","music","new-adult-fiction","new-adult-romance","young-adult-fiction","young-adult-romance-fiction"],"id":3215,"author_id":"Megan+Rivers"},{"text":"I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what's wrong with me.

She who can talk to time. But those were old myths of a woman who lived many thousands of years ago, the first daughter of the Earth. There is a prophecy that she will return again, during the end times -- every religion has someone like that, someone to wait for and put your faith in, but my culture had mostly covered up her existence. We had a god of the sea, a god of the land, a god of the air, a god of fire, but no one who could control all of the elements. We spoke, only in whispers, of the ancient bloodline -- the descendents of the Great Mother. Too many superstitious minds, too many men concerned only with their own power and position, had heard these whispers in the past and taken gruesome steps to erase the descendents. The lineage was said to be broken, the blood of the Great Mother spilled for the last time.","author":"Sarah Warden","tags":["gaia","paranormal-romance","vampire","werewolves","witches","young-adult-fiction"],"id":3634,"author_id":"Sarah+Warden"},{"text":"If I stay.
