I never tell my boyfriend that I’m busy when I’m not. No matter how effective they are, cheap techniques like that just don’t agree with me. So it’s always okay, it’s always all right. In my opinion the surest way to hook a man is to be as open with him as possible.

Days Long Missing Ordinary
When someone tells you something big, it’s like you’re taking money from them, and there’s no way it will ever go back to being the way it was. You have to take responsibility for listening.

When things get really bad, you take comfort in the placeness of a place.

In the uncertain ebb and flow of time and emotions much of one’s life history is etched in the senses.

I should have told her at the time. I could have taken a deep breath, looked away, and forced myself to say it.
