The most precious love is often the kind that isn't returned, and that is given freely.

It's terrible to know that no matter how you try to help your child, his condition will worsen.

Think of how much we stress about living up to our "potential," and how it creates anxiety and terror in people; in short, stops them from living their life as fully as they might out of fear and self-loathing.

I don't believe in God, but I do believe in that chaotic reality, and also this: that none of us knows anything about anything. Period.

I think it's more important to concentrate on trying to be, simply, happy. Once you've known deep despair, you feel even more motivated to be as happy as possible. That's how I feel.

I honestly turned to writing because I didn't know what else to do, and because a friend had gently suggested it.
