Nineteen Quote by Patricia DuMond
““I want you to look at me. All of me. The good, the bad...I'm bruised. I'm burnt. I have this stupid disease that could be inactive for years and one day might decide to eat me up and leave me in a wheelchair. Most nineteen-year-old girls are close to being perfect people. But I'm not. I'll never be a perfect person. I need you to know that." "Bonita," he said. "I'm the guy who will love you, no matter what.””
