My dear,
They should tell you that where you’re born doesn’t determine you who are. They should tell you that you have wings, and that although it’s hard to fly when others around you don’t, you were meant to.
They should tell you that the world is big, and fantastic, and ridiculous, and much more wonderful and stranger than anything you can find in books, and that it’s your journey to see it all.
Falsely yours,
Gabrielle Zevin
