Your fear is just as boring as mine is. Everyone's got the same one. It is not precious. It is not special. It is not singular to you. It's just the one we all got wired with when we came in. Focus on your unique qualities that deserve to be celebrated and put fear back in its place. Don't listen to it. Onward.
Elizabeth GilbertThere is hardly a more gracious gift that we can offer somebody than to accept them fully, to love them almost despite themselves.
Elizabeth GilbertThis is what intimacy does to us over time. That's what a long marriage can do: It causes us to inherit and trade each other's stories. (p.237)
