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.

We build our lives in moments, and even the ones we can't remember become the story of who we are.

We are only as great as our struggles. We only become who we are in the face of them.

You are writing the story of your only life every single minute of every day.

It's vital to learn how to make the best of things.

We all carry our mothers inside us.

There is no question that the objects that surround us impact our experience of the world.
