do you fix a wheel that isn't broken, or do you wait until the cart collapses?

Imagine if you were the positive pole of a magnet, and you were told that under no circumstances were you allowed to touch that negative pole that was sucking you in like a black hole. Or if you crawled out of the desert and found a woman standing with a pitcher of ice water, but she held it out of your reach. Imagine jumping off a building, and then being told not to fall. That's what it feels like to want a drink.

The way I challenge myself is by writing something that really engages me, that doesn't have an easy answer, and isn't always an easy book to write.

But there is a different between mending someone who's broken and finding someone who makes you complete.

Just because you didn't speak the facts out loud didn't erase their existence. Silence was just a quieter way to lie.

Only the liar knows he's lying

The act of reading is a partnership. The author builds a house, but the reader makes it a home.
