Meet Miles Shebar. Miles pretty much stuck by my side for the entirety of my HCHS visit. He was asking questions the entire time. He was telling me about blogs he was starting, computers he was building, and films he was making. And he’s only 14. It was just hilariously obvious to me that this kid is going to be very famous one day. At one point, I was telling him about how a few of my captions resulted in a lot of angry mail.
“I know what you mean,” he said, “I once mispronounced the spell in a Harry Potter video I made, and boy did I hear about it!”

"You think because he doesn’t love you that you are worthless. You think that because he doesn’t want you anymore that he is right — that his judgment and opinion of you are correct. If he throws you out, then you are garbage. You think he belongs to you because you want to belong to him. Don’t. It’s a bad word, ‘belong.’ Especially when you put it with somebody you love. Love shouldn’t be like that. Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can’t even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don’t wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. You can’t own a human being. You can’t lose what you don’t own. Suppose you did own him. Could you really love somebody who was absolutely nobody without you? You really want somebody like that? Somebody who falls apart when you walk out the door? You don’t, do you? And neither does he. You’re turning over your whole life to him. Your whole life, girl. And if it means so little to you that you can just give it away, hand it to him, then why should it mean any more to him? He can’t value you more than you value yourself."
