And of course, the answer came to me in the same way Jesus comes to those who drink in trailers: as an epiphany Picture Quote #1

And in my mind, this settles the issue. I would never drink cologne, and am therefore not an alcoholic Picture Quote #1

The truth is that nobody is owed an apology for anything. Apologies are lovely when they happen. But they change nothing. They do not reverse actions or correct damage. They are merely nice to hear Picture Quote #1

You must hang onto the scraps of the bucking moment as if your sanity and life depended on it - because actually they do Picture Quote #1

Long marriages have ended in ruin over tiny and insignificant grievances that were never properly aired and instead grew into a brittle barnacle of hatred Picture Quote #1

I felt absolutely nothing. It was like a door quickly opened, showing me what horrible feelings I had inside, and then slammed shut again so I wouldn't have to actually face them Picture Quote #1

Smoking had become my favorite thing in the world to do. It was like having instant comfort, no matter where or when Picture Quote #1

There is no shame in being hungry for another person. There is no shame in wanting very much to share your life with somebody Picture Quote #1

This is what you should know about losing someone you love. They do not travel alone. You go with them Picture Quote #1

Maybe you feel pressure to be positive because so many people rely on your good, fake positive energy? If that's the case, screw everybody else. You're not a bottle of Valium Picture Quote #1

Because here is the truth: If you want to have a chance at meeting somebody with whom you are genuinely compatible, never put your best foot forward Picture Quote #1

Any damage that's been done, you have to fix yourself because it needs fixing and there is nobody else to do the work. Blame may well be justified, but it's not going to move you forward in your life Picture Quote #1

So we can be filled with holes and loss and wide expanses of unhealed geography - and we can also be excited by life and in love and content at the exact same moment Picture Quote #1
