Impossible 1: Summertime
“Dad, can I not go back to school next year?” I plead with him.
He looked down at me, “Why?”
“I just don’t want to,” I shrugged. I didn’t really want to answer.
“Alex, what are you not telling me?” my dad insists on getting the reason out of me.
“I just don’t like the people there,” I pause and look away, “They act like I’m some kind of freak.”
My dad rests his hands on my arms, “Listen to me Alex, you are no freak. You’re a normal and wonderful human being. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.”

Impossible 2: The Kids from Yesterday
“I had a hard time growing up. For a good part of my childhood, I knew I was different from other kids, I was introverted, depressed, let alone the fact that I knew I was gay.

GERARD’S POV
I ride with Frank to the hospital, not daring to leave his side. The paramedics are doing everything they can, I just can’t help but wonder if it’ll be enough.

Exposure Therapy Chapter 3 (Frerard)
Of course I didn't need to talk to Mrs. Palgrove. I didn't need to talk to anyone, no matter what that shrink said all those years ago. Shrinks don't know a damn thing. If they did, they wouldn't be shrinks, they'd be real doctors. If you have a problem you feel you need to talk about, tell a friend. If you feel the problem is something too embarrassing or whatever, tell a bartender. Hell, tell a booze hound on the corner; if anyone would make a great therapist it's them. They've seen and been through it all. Not much about your life they can't help you put into perspective. Like just to be grateful you're not a homeless, jobless, booze hound
