I remember when I was in high school I didn't have a new dress for each special occasion. The girls would bring the fact to my attention, not always too delicately. The boys, however, never bothered with the subject. They were my friends, not because of the size of my wardrobe but because they liked me.

Marilyn MonroeEveryoneโs childhood plays itself out. No wonder no one knows the other or can completely understand. By this I donโt know if Iโm just giving up with this conclusion or resigning myself โ or maybe for the first time connecting with reality. How do we know the pain or anotherโs earlier years, let alone all that he drags with him since along the way at best a lot of leeway is needed for the other โ yet how much is unhealthy for one to bear. I think to love bravely is the best and accept โ as much as one can bear.
