« Mom keeps blaming me for spending too much time outside. She says the young people here stay indoors. She's right. They watch TV, are on the computer, on the phone or play video games. Not that it's dangerous or forbidden, they can go outside whenever they want. On the contrary, their parents push them out. But they'd rather stay in it. »

« Friendship does not withstand time. This is not a revelation. My mother once told me that a good family is the one that we leave easily, because that is the goal of the children: to go and live their lives. I have often wondered if it is the same for friendship. Because between us, it's not that at all. We don't know how to leave each other. And I'm even worse than the others. I stand there, hiding my eyes so as not to see the others who are leaving, waiting for us to be reunited again. »

« You have something that I have often missed. Faith. Not necessarily in God, no, but in a better day. You are the light, the hope, Bee. Even if you fall very low, you will still have it in you, this thing that makes you different from your mother. It is quite natural not to take the measure of the things that are part of our daily lives and to sacrifice them without thinking, without hesitation. I solemnly ask you not to make this mistake. »
