Whatever hardships there have been in my life I still live in a very privileged position. Fear is not knowing where your next meal is coming from. Fear is seeing a child get hurt. Fear is watching someone you love waste away. Fear is knowing you are going to die yourself. But there's no fear in what I do. I write books.

James Frey
Image
But all good things come to an end, often a sad angry miserable end. The cause for such an end can usually be whittled down to one of three things: money, sickness, love lost.
James Frey
Image
But that's part of faith. Believing and knowing despite what other people say, and despite what the world might think of your beliefs.
James Frey
Image
I turn and I slowly walk away and I don't look back. It has always been a fault of mine, but it is the way I am. I never look back. Never.

But we are what we are, and humans will always hate.

The wounds that never heal can only be mourned alone.

I am essentially optimistic. Being alive is incredible. Life is extraordinary and beautiful. It can be hard and sad and terrifying, but it's all we've got.

I feel strong. Not strong enough to face myself, but strong enough to keep going.
