I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.

I've learned you can make a mistake and the whole world doesn't end. I had to learn to allow myself to make a mistake without becoming defensive and unforgiving.

Is it me? Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?

I do like reality shows, and I watch some of them because they're high drama. It's also just fun to watch people have honest reactions.

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.

My hair got lighter, and I gradually went blonde. I liked it. Had more fun. But my image of myself in my head is this dark-haired person.

I wanted to be the kind of woman who would attract a certain kind of man that I could respect. That was my thinking. It had to do with the kind of couple I would be a part of.
