To me, I definitely stand in the corner of wanting to give voice to the bullied, and not the bully.

I feel like so much of my life is about a conversation I'm having with myself. I do interact with other people, but often I'm more interested in what I'm learning in the relationship I have with myself.

I believe, in general, that even people that are self-pitying, you can feel for them.

You want to work with people who you like and have an easy rapport with.

From my experience, meditating can bring up the most stressful thoughts.

I can be really annoying, but I also feel like I'm a nice person.

I started out writing when I was young; stuff about exposing the truth about how people are not what they appear, about how they are much more dysfunctional than they seem. Pulling back the curtain - that felt smart. But as I got older, exposing how frail people can be seems less and less deep.
