Youth and beauty are not accomplishments they're the temporary happy byproducts of time and/or DNA. Don't hold your breath for either. 

Take your broken heart and make it into art. 

Do or not there is no try.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

Instant gratification takes too long.

I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life.

I am very sane about how crazy I am.

If anything, my mother taught me is how to sur-thrive. That's my word for it.

Certainly there are people who like me, but then there are those who don't know me who gossip about me. You can't believe the things I've heard.

I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.

Mistakes are a drag, because you get in the area of regret and self pity.

Writing is a very calming thing for me.

It really annoys me that I'm vain, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to discard that tendency.

Now I say I'm a diarist with an explanation I'll get back to you on. Someday I may try and write in memoir form.

I outlasted my problems.

It creates community when you talk about private things.

I fear dying. Anything with pain associated with it, I don't like it.

I've been there for a couple of people when they were dying; it didn't look like fun. But if I was gonna do it, I'd want someone like me around. And I will be there!

All of us are looking for an outside ordeal that will internally change us.

Movies are dreams! And they work on you subliminally.

If you can claim something you can own it.

It's the most amazing thing to be able to forgive.

If my life wasn't funny it would just be true and that is unacceptable.
 
Dream more. Sleep less.
