What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

There's such a continuity between everything that I don't really care what form it shows up in.
Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette
There is consequence of our forgetting who we are. Forgetting that we're able to create our environment, from our health to economy to war. Something can be done about everything we perceive as bad, if we so choose. If we are aware of the concept of compassion.
Alanis Morissette
All of my unconscious fears were in my face about letting go of the current identity. A lot of the thoughts that came up were fear-based and false, so I had to work to let them go.

Every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it.
Alanis Morissette
Kale is my best friend. I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.
Alanis Morissette
Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
Alanis Morissette
Music helps you find the truths you must bring into the rest of your life.
