Why do you think you are missing something you never had?

You have to be your own person. You can't let people's opinions determine how you think about yourself. There's a difference between identity and self-identity.

I love my daughter. She and I have shared my body. There is a part of her mind that is a part of mine. But when she was born, she sprang from me like a slippery fish, and has been swimming away ever since.

I began to look at all events and all things as relevant, an opportunity to take or avoid.

Sure I loved him - too much. And he loved me, only not enough. I just want someone who thinks I'm number one in his life. I'm not willing to accept emotional scraps anymore.

When you lose your face..., it is like dropping your necklace down a well. The only way you can get it back is to fall in after it.

That is the saddest part when you lose someone you love - that person keeps changing. And later you wonder, Is this the same person I lost? Maybe you lost more maybe less, then thousand different things that come from your memory or imagination - and you do not know which is which, which was true, which is false.
