"Make him remember you. Every day. Do something that will make him fall for you. Be yourself, and captivate him." "Surprise him. Make him fall in love with you, just like he can make you fall in love with him in less than a day. Give him something to talk about when he's old and reflects on life... about the night that his forgetful boy took him by surprise." "Falling for someone is a scary thing, but it makes it a whole lot better when someone is holding your hand through it all."

Alexander Kirk is the first to notice. Mitch and Scott have been best friends for years, and they thought that nothing could change their friendship. But as life goes on and they're forced to make some changes, they realize that something is different..and maybe is too late to do anything.

"Parallel universes may or may not exist; the case is unproved. We are going to have to live with that uncertainty."

Here and whatever comes after. Just wait for me on the other side, ok? I'll always find you. "

One of the hardest things to learn was to be myself. It's so difficult to be yourself in a society that wants to shape you... They want me to feel like I shouldn't life my life because I inconvenience those who want to stick to the status quo. You know what? Fuck the status quo. If you want to be like everybody else, that's fine. But, let me tell you something. You're not living your life right... You'll have to face the wrath of the status quo, but one of these days when you've stepped away from it all and start to realize it's complete bull shit and you've learned from it, you'll be so much happier. You'll be free.
