“I
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.”

“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.”

“How did I get so insatiable? Can
I learn to ask for a little less from everything? I have been
allowed to travel, to build a writing career, to have an
unusual and fascinating romantic history. All of this I am
grateful for, even though it has not led to the sustained love
relationship and family that I wanted. In another lifetime, I
think I would have been a great mother. But I also think
that in this life I’ve been a great seeker. I didn’t get
everything that I wanted, but the things that I got were
really great. And maybe not getting what you want allows
you to see the beauty of what you have. Without that, it’s
too much of a smooth ride.”
