I was tired of chasing ghosts, hollow men who were outside my comfort zone, men who had nothing to give me except a rush. It was all I asked for, and all I ever got.

Parents can ruin children, and sometimes that's a learned behavior. Sometimes you can't blame your parents for it, sometimes you can. I think to me, that's what the whole paradox is, is people that have children that don't even know how to raise them.

People always have something to say about what you do and how you do it.

People need to be re - sometimes we need to reinvent ourselves and then get reacquainted with our better selves.

I want to push the fast-forward button until I get back to happy.

Cruising the Internet doesn't count as writing. Neither does answering e-mail. Before you check Twitter & FB and do other similar tasks that get in the way of writing, write first. (I really need to take my own advice here!)

I'm not an angry woman. I'm not bitter.
