“But you will never be exclusive to my heart. Married life needs dedication; it needs effort to thrive. I don’t think I can spare so much time for it.”

“Had I been provided with a choice, I would have chosen to stay. I didn’t know we were poor, and I didn’t feel any of the desperation that dictated our lives. I just remember being loved, safe, and happy. In retrospect, I realize this is a credit to the efforts of my mother and my surrogate family rather than a credit to the island. Nevertheless, leaving Jamaica still felt like a betrayal. I didn’t know then that when you leave someone or something behind not by choice, you never trade your allegiance to them. I assimilated well enough to call America home many years ago, but my longing for Jamaica never fully went away. Assimilation, though necessary, comes with a price. It created an unwelcome wedge between me and my homeland.”

“When you do some action for the very first time, you use your conscious mind. You pay attention, exert self-control, and spend much mental resource overall. But if you perform this action repeatedly and over a prolonged period of time, it can then turn into a habit. It becomes so ingrained in your mind that you don’t need to think of how to do it any more. You just do it. You don’t have to consciously recall how to carry out any of these tasks. If you want to walk, you just walk and don’t think of how to move your legs. When you get into your car, you don’t remind yourself how to start the car, how to use the indicators or how to pull over.”
