It’s a long life, sweetheart, and time heals all wounds Picture Quote #1

How wild it was, to let it be Picture Quote #1

When going on a date with someone they met online, the number-one fear that straight women have is going on a date with a serial killer. The number-one fear straight men have is going on a date with a fat woman. That says everything Picture Quote #1

You get to define the terms of your life Picture Quote #1

I’m a free spirit who never had the balls to be free Picture Quote #1

I was trying to find a new home in the world Picture Quote #1

But if I could go back in time, I wouldn’t do a single thing differently. What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? Picture Quote #1

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal Picture Quote #1

Their leaving made me melancholy, though I also felt something like relief when they disappeared into the dark trees. I hadn’t needed to get anything from my pack; I’d only wanted to be alone. Alone had always felt like an actual place to me, as if it weren’t a state of being, but rather a room where I could retreat to be who I really was Picture Quote #1

I’ll never know, and neither will you, of the life you don’t choose. We’ll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn’t carry us. There’s nothing to do but salute it from the shore Picture Quote #1

I am, as they say, the classic starving artist Picture Quote #1

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else Picture Quote #1

You don’t have a right to the cards you believe you should have been dealt with. You have an obligation to play the hell out of the ones you’re holding and my dear one, you and I have been granted a mighty generous one Picture Quote #1

Your assumptions about the lives of others are in direct relation to your naïve pomposity. Many people you believe to be rich are not rich. Many people you think have it easy worked hard for what they got. Many people who seem to be gliding right along have suffered and are suffering. Many people who appear to you to be old and stupidly saddled down with kids and cars and houses were once every bit as hip and pompous as you Picture Quote #1

People do support themselves as artists and writers, so there’s no need to be all doom and gloom about it. You just have to push forward. You have to follow your vision and hope for the best. You have to write for love Picture Quote #1

I didn’t feel sad or happy. I didn’t feel proud or ashamed. I only felt that in spite of all the things I’d done wrong, in getting myself here, I’d done right Picture Quote #1

I had problems a therapist couldn’t solve; grief that no man in a room could ameliorate Picture Quote #1

You will learn a lot about yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love Picture Quote #1

In your twenties you’re becoming who you’re going to be and so you might as well not be an asshole Picture Quote #1

The father’s job is to teach his children how to be warriors, to give them the confidence to get on the horse to ride into battle when it’s necessary to do so. If you don’t get that from your father, you have to teach yourself Picture Quote #1

There isn’t a thing to eat down there in the rabbit hole of your bitterness except your own desperate heart Picture Quote #1
