Book cover for The Correspondent
What I have made for myself is personal, but is not exactly peace…. Most of us live less theatrically, but remain the survivors of a peculiar and inward time. Joan Didion, “On the Morning After the Sixties,” The White Album

“The point was never that you adjusted everything around you until it was made perfect, but that you adjusted the way you see everything until you realize that it is enough, and it always has been.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

Lolly Winston
“Instead, they’d smile and speak softly, as though I were going to be all right, as though I weren’t wearing one navy and one black loafer. As though I weren’t driving down the street with my purse on the roof of the car or leaving the oven on preheat all night.”
Lolly Winston, Good Grief

“Relationships are not safeguards against loneliness. You can’t whittle yourself down to being as nice and accepting and likable as possible in order to ensure that as many people as possible won’t leave you. Relationships come and go; that is what they are designed to do.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

Joan Didion
“I began to make notes. I began to write down everything I saw and heard and remembered and imagined. I began to write, or so I thought, another story.”
Joan Didion, Let Me Tell You What I Mean

“I know that your instinct is to do whatever you can to earn the good graces of everyone you can, but that is also the impulse that will rob you of your time, your energy and your sanity.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal
