It's always better to have what you have than to get what you wanted.
Our lives disappear, even as we live them.
You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.
People are always beautiful when you love them.
I like to write about people who are real and likeable. I like to write about people who tell their stories in that close and intimate voice we use with best friends. I love the closeness and honesty and vulnerability that come from characters who can talk that way.
Something good was happening. My life was rising from the ashes, and the sight of it left me feeling something like hopeful.
