Logically, I understand that it wasn't Edward's fault my family fell apart after he left. But when you're eleven years old, you don't give a flip about logic. You just really miss holding your big brother's hand. ↗

Every time I watch a movie with great special effects I think, ‘Wow. This is so much more lifelike than anything I’ve ever seen.’ The world needs to get with reality and use more computer generated images for our sunrises and landscapes.
