Writing is always a solitary experience, but living, if you're lucky, is not.

I was always in complete control of everything in my life and I was just so tired of having to do that alone. Not that I wanted someone else to take over my life for me or tell me how to do things, but when you're the only one accountable for everything, that can get old.

We can understand the science of what makes a heart beat, but we can never stop it from breaking.

I think things ultimately work out the way they're supposed to, even if it's not always the most comfortable, cushy way.
