think we have to find a way to balance the messaging about
being independent and self-reliant with the human desire to
be connected, to love and be loved.”

“I used to think love was the feeling hanging between me
and my mum on that phone call, a mix of what I felt for her
and what she felt for me. But now I understand that love
was the act of switching the way I responded to the
moment; it existed in both the intention and the choice to
consciously focus on it.”

“Part of that is luck, part
is circumstance, the rest is mystery. But one of the lessons
I’ve had to learn is that, while many of my relationships
didn’t have the shape that I would’ve chosen, they were the
shape that made sense for the connection I had with that
person.”

“I will have longevity in a relationship like that, but my
guess is that I will never grow that tree, and it’s OK,
because I’m going to grow a more varied garden. So I’m
realizing that there isn’t necessarily going to be one long
love for me, but maybe a series of shorter love stories. Just
as making peace with what I don’t get is going to be a
series of acceptances.”
