The first thing we saw at the pet store was this scary white cat sitting on his own pedestal. He fluffed out his fur in a huff of attitude. His weird eyes were like lasers, way more expressive than human eyes. It felt like he could read my soul. His eyes were all, Yeah. I know you. I know everything you’re thinking. The cat was acting all exotic and important. Which I guess is what happens when you’re put on your own pedestal.
Susane ColasantiWe had algebra together, right?”
“Yeah.” That was two years ago. I only vaguely remember him. Something about circles. “Didn’t you draw perfect circles?”
“That’s what I’m known for.”
“Really?” Erin goes, all excited about the circles.
Jason says, “No, it’s just this one time I went up to the board and I had to draw a circle and it came out really . . . round.”
“Which is always a good thing, when you’re drawing a circle,” I say.
“Exactly.” Jason smiles at me.
“It was more than one time,” I remind him. For some reason, it’s all coming back to me now. “It was more like three or four times.”
“What can I say?” Jason goes. “You got me.”
Now we’re both smiling.
I’m trying to paint an underwater ocean scene. It’s just not working. My queen angelfish is supposed to have these bright yellow eyes and electric-blue stripes along the edge of her fin. Instead, it looks like I’m trying to paint a fried egg with some blue bacon. Maybe I can pass it off as postmodern.
Susane ColasantiSomehow, I manage to open the door. And smile at the enormous bunch of balloons Erin has for me. And act like my normal self (or at least what I think my normal self acts like).
Susane ColasantiThe unknown is scary the Unknown can also be exciting. Your life could change in an instant anytime. But sometimes, that change is the best thing that will ever happen to you.Maybe I don’t have to know what my fate is to know that everything will be okay. Maybe the not knowing is how we move forward. Wherever I’m headed, I know it’s exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Do you believe in fate?”
“I guess, but... it‟s more about creating the life you want so you can
make that fate a reality. You know?

people tell me I‟m weird... i mean,why be normal?

When someone rips your heart out, there's nothing you can do to change how you feel about them. You just have to keep feeling that way until it goes away. Until it never does.
Susane ColasantiThe only person I can count on is myself. It's up to me to create the life I want. I can't blame my parents or Scott or anyone else for the way things are.
