“Kindness is not the same as niceness, or putting our heads in the sand, or avoiding conflict. It is acknowledging that no life is as it seems on the surface. It is understanding that we never know all the layers in a life, and choosing to speak and act from that difficult gray place in all of us.”
― Kerry Egan, On Living

“My life is nowhere but here, and I am nowhere else.”
― Mieko Kawakami, All The Lovers In The Night

“when we call someone needy, it really means that we don’t have the time, the energy, the inclination, or the capacity to meet their need. We blame the need, or worse, the person with the need, instead of the lack of time, energy, inclination, or capacity.”
― Kerry Egan, On Living
