Want to Read $ 6.99"I’ve always assumed that when someone acts mean to me it’s because I did something wrong. Maybe that’s not it at all, though. Sort of like how sometimes you throw your best pitch and the batter still hits a home run. Because sometimes things just happen and you can’t control it. No matter how good and smart and talented you are."-Sarah Kapit, Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!
