Every woman is just a different kind of problem.

You cannot be the person they know and the great, glorious person you want to become. Not at the same time.

this is the upside of already being eternally damned

Your folks are god, you love them and you want to make them happy but you still want to make up your own rules.

Don't do this. I love you. Don't shut me out.

Everyone is equal and everyone is forced to participate; you can't just be a spectator.

Any time some well-meaning person forces you to demonstrate you have no talent and rubs your nose in the fact you're a failure at the only dream you ever had, take another drink.
