Things which of themselves avail nothing, when united become powerful.
Sometimes what a person needs most is to be forgiven.
I've lived here. . . my whole life. It's where I lost all my baby teeth. Where tiny hamster, gerbil, and bird skeletons lie in rotted-out cardboard coffins beneath the oak tree in our backyard.

The moral of being who you are, and trusting yourself, finding your inner strength - I think that's something that most teen movies don't really dial into.
