Left behind Quote by John Green
““I know you’re right. I mean, about me being a self-centered asshole.” “Well, it’s only sometimes. But still. Just stop.” “I don’t really know how,” he said. “How do you stop being terrified of getting left behind and ending up by yourself forever and not meaning anything to the world?””
