August. We were arguing. You want love to be like this every day don't you? 92 degrees even in the shade.

I have noticed that doing the sensible thing is only a good idea when the decision is quite small. For the life-changing things, you must risk it.

When a woman gives birth her waters break and she pours out the child and the child runs free.

Growing up is difficult. Strangely, even when we have stopped growing physically, we seem to have to keep on growing emotionally, which involves both expansion and shrinkage, as some parts of us develop and others must be allowed to disappear...Rigidity never works; we end up being the wrong size for our world.

The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive.

Trust me, I'm telling you stories.

Unconditional love is what a child should expect from a parent even though it rarely works out that way.
