Single minded to the point of recklessness I heard this in the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants I know, its a teen movie, but that line screamed to me and still does.
-I had something that I needed to prove back then. I need to prove that I mattered. That I could make someone care about me. That someone was you. I am so sorry for all that I have put you through. Please, please forgive me. ~Brenden of Between Brothers
