Love is not shown by giving your toddler a car. It's better demonstrated by clapping as she bangs on pots or singing to her while she plays with her cheap little bath toys in the tub.

I have this wonderful capacity just to walk away from my mistakes and not dwell on them.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.

I try to direct people in distress to the right resources, where they can get comprehensive help. I've heard from many people that simply putting down in a letter what is going on in their lives is therapeutic in and of itself.

My inbox [showed me] how much pain there is in the world. I appreciated hearing from people, but it was hard to know I couldn't do anything.
