![“In the end, how [is] anyone any different from a 'normal' person? If you love someone, you love them. It doesn't matter where they came from or if they're a boy or a girl, or if you fight, or if they're weird, or if they find it difficult to communicate with you; you just fucking love them.” quote by Abigail Tarttelin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/06b/abigail-tarttelin-22690_different_in-the-end-how-is-anyone-any-different-f_604303.jpg)
