See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it

When you're a parent you find yourself looking at the unknown that is your child, trying to find a piece of yourself inside her, because sometimes that is what it takes to claim.

I think that ordinary people who are placed in extraordinary circumstances find themselves pushed beyond their limits, and learn new truths about themselves.

There are two reasons not to tell the truth--becuase lying will get you what you want, and because lying will keep someone from getting hurt.

You figured that the only way I'd be happy is if I did the things you thought would be best for me.

When you showed someone how you felt, it was fesh and honest. Whe you told someone how you felt, there might be nothing behind the words but habit or expectation.

I personally subscribe to the belief that normal is just a setting on the dryer.
