In a split second

blazingangel:

Ellie: Don’t be afraid, Peyton. Every song has a coda, a final movement. Whether it fades out or crashes away, every song ends. Is that any reason not to enjoy the music?

Peyton: It doesn’t mean I can’t want it to not end.

Ellie: Look at you. You’ve had more life-changing events in the first 17 years of your life than I’d wish on anyone. You got the surviving part down. I want you to focus more on the living.

Peyton: Sometimes surviving is about all the living I can handle.

Ellie: I don’t buy that for one second. And if you keep this up, hiding in your art, in your sadness, you’re really gonna miss out. Because the truth is: there is nothing to be afraid of. It’s just life.
