Curious Quote by David Levithan

“That's not how I'd planned it to be." "How did you plan it to be?" I ask, not to be snarky but because I am genuinely curious. "I planned it to be a million different things," he replies. "And in the end, I couldn't figure which one it should be.” quote by David Levithan
