Where does a mistake begin? Lately I’ve found this simple question difficult. Impossible, actually. A mistake has roots in both time and space—a person’s reasoning and her whereabouts.
“She put her faith in the transformative power new boots, liquid eyeliner, and once-terrifyingly-a beret, as if identity could sleep in from the outside, like nicotine from a patch”

“Sometimes it's exhausting for me to simply walk into the house. I try and calm myself, remember that I've lived alone before. Sleeping by myself didn't kill me then and will not kill me now. But this what loss has taught me of love. Our house isn't simply empty, our home has been emptied. Love makes a place in your life, it makes a place for itself in your bed. Invisibly, it makes a place in your body, rerouting all your blood vessels, throbbing right alongside your heart. When it's gone, nothing is whole again.”

“The perception that vulnerability is weakness is the most widely accepted myth about vulnerability and the most dangerous. When we spend our lives pushing away and protecting ourselves from feeling vulnerable or from being perceived as too emotional, we feel contempt when others are less capable or willing to mask feelings, suck it up, and soldier on. We’ve come to the point where, rather than respecting and appreciating the courage and daring behind vulnerability, we let our fear and discomfort become judgment and criticism.”

“Today I made love to my woman.
Not because I wanted to right then,
But because I knew i'd want to when we started,
And that the walk on the beach we took afterward would be more romantic,
The cocktail I made at 5:45 would taste better,
The shrimp I seasoned would have more savour,
The all-star game we watched at 7:00 would be more exciting,
The music we danced to til midmight would have more rhythm,
And the conversation about life we had together, sitting across the table from each other, until 3:00 am in the morning would be more inspiring.
And it was.”
