I will probably always cry myself to sleep, but knowing this, someday the tears won't be sad, or filled with regret. Maybe they will be joyful

Two different things. Work is survival, and love sustains you. You have work anytime. But love? Not always.

I've learned one important lesson in my life, and I'm going to share it with you. Don't worry about bad things that haven't happened yet. It will save you a lot of anxiety.

I used to believe my art had to be about the things that brought me joy and gave me hope. But I learned that art can be found in all of life, even in pain.

But what Mom never told me is that along the way, you find sisters, and they find you. Girls are cool that way.

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

If only men came made to order. It's so hard to find a decent fellow.
