getting my second wind

“we lay there and looked up at the night sky and she told me about stars called blue squares and red swirls and i told her that i’d never heard of them. of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you.

from someone brilliant.

{edited to add: I got this off of a website a long time ago and I fell in love with the quote. i realized that this sounded like something someone may have actually said to me.  i wish.}
