Quote

And he left. I watched him walk out – he didn’t say good-bye, he didn’t even look back. It scared me, how easy it was for him to do that.

It's just so out of control. Life, I mean. The way it flies off in all these different directions without your permission.

I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.

Life was mostly made up of things you couldn’t control, full of surprises, and they weren’t always good. Life wasn’t what you made it. You were what life made you.

It's hard to say when my interest in writing began, or how. My mother read to my sister and me every night, and we always loved playing make-believe games. I had a well-primed imagination. I didn't start thinking about writing as a serious pursuit, a career I could have, until after college.

Family or love or romance, whatever it is, is not restricted to perfect people. If it were, it wouldn't exist. All of that comes out in my work in some way.

It's as if once you hit high school, you're programmed, like a robot, to be an asshole to your parents.

I'm remembering how this works. How life doesn't have to be only anxiety about what's gone wrong or could go worng, and complaints about the world around you. How a person you're excited about can remind you there's stuff going on beyond... routine oil changes and homework. Stuff that matters. Stuff to look forward to.

That's how life feels to me. Everyone is doing it everyone knows how. To live and be who they are and find a place, find a moment. I'm still waiting.

It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.

I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.

No one measures a life in weeks and days. You measure life in years and by the things that happen to you.
