I have no quarrel with people who lack the skill or temperament to care for small children.

The most reliable ways to make oneself miserable are attempting to change people and not attempting to change circumstances.

Minimizing exposure to miserable people is nothing short of a life strategy.

The topic of sexual education makes me nuts, because kids are certainly not now and have rarely ever been "clueless" about what adults do and delude themselves about keeping from their kids. Especially now that so many of them are carrying the entire internet around in their pockets.

Waiting for someone to propose to you only passes the "Really, it's tradition!" sniff test when both of you think it's the man's job to propose and both of you think that's awesome.

We all make deals with ourselves when it comes to the difficult people in our lives.

Your job is to be you, which includes being the chief beneficiary of all things you do right, the chief victim of all you do wrong, and the one person on Earth who has to live with every choice you make. As gatekeeper to your life, you’re it.
