This is my new hobby. i watch my life depart minute by minute. i anticipate the end of everything and anything -- a conversation, a class, track practice, darkness -- only to be left with more clock-watching to take its place. i'm continually waiting for something better that never comes. maybe it would help if i knew what i wanted.

More From Megan McCafferty

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.

There should be a class on drugs. there should be a class on sex education-a real sex education class-not just pictures and diaphragms and 'un-logical' terms and things like that.....there should be a class on scams, there should be a class on religious cults, there should be a class on police brutality, there should be a class on apartheid, there should be a class on racism in america, there should be a class on why people are hungry, but there are not, there are classes on gym, physical education, let's learn volleyball.

If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

I would ... go up to the mailbox and sit in the grass, waiting. ... till it came to me one day there were women doing this with their lives, all over. there were women just waiting and waiting by mailboxes for one letter or another. i imagined me making this journey day after day and year after year, and my hair starting to go gray, and i thought, i was never made to go on like that. ... if there were woman all through life waiting, and women busy and not waiting, i knew which i had to be.
Journey Hair Years
I see at last that all the knowledge i wrung from the darkness - that darkness flung me - is worthless as ignorance: nothing comes from nothing the darkness from the darkness. pain comes from the darkness and we call it wisdom. it is pain.

You cannot go on 'explaining away' for ever: you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. you cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. the whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it.

Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. all is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. dawn and resurrection are synonymous. the reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.
