Life is short but it is wide. This too shall pass.

Can you reclaim that free-girl smile, or is it like virginity- once you loose it, that's it?

Forget love. Try good manners.

I want to lay up like that, to float unstructured, without ambition or anxiety. I want to inhabit my life like a porch.

Good enough is good enough. Perfect will make you a big fat mess every time.

I value humor, kindness, and the ability to tell a good story far more than money, status, or the kind of car someone drives.

Don't ever admit you know a thing about cooking or it'll be used against you.
