My wants are simple: a job that I like and a guy whom I love.

I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.

I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.

I think of how life takes unexpected twists and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a matter of faith.

I'm very open in terms of sharing bits about my life, but I think it's very easy to get a distorted sense of who anyone is through social media.

But now we have time. Endless time stretches before us.

Blurring the line between friendship and attraction was a surefire to lose a friend.
