I think I need to watch “Friends”

“Acting came naturally to me. Why wouldn’t I want to pretend to be another person?”

I may have to DNF this. This is so painful. It’s not like my fiction stories where I can separate fantasy from reality. This is a real human being who lived a real life. Who is no longer in our lives. OW!!!!!

This is making me so sad. Perry uses humor constantly to make light of a horrible situation. He’s funny. It’s working on the reader (me right now) but it’s also making me emotional.

“Broken? Bent.”

This already hits differently knowing the ending. Perry asks himself in the beginning, “Why am I alive?” His only response is God. After undergoing Pain, he reminds himself in the beginning, “I’m alive”. Ouch-my heart.

“Becoming who you want to be is just like anything else. It takes practice. It requires belief that one day, you’ll wake up and be a natural at it.”

“How many palate cleansers do you have to eat until you’re fully cleansed!” Juice asks. #juice-cleanse

Tiff: “But do you ever notice how large your forehead is?” WHAT?

“I am okay. I am alive. I am here.”

Gary standing there: 🧍🏻‍♂️

“Love is visible-it paints the air between two people a different color, and everyone can see it,”

“She is loyal to Lila now. Loyal to the production that is this wedding-that’s the truth of it.”

“The moments of connecting with students, the moments when they really do learn something. The back-and-forth. The way it feels to have a really good class.” I really hope I never loose that feeling with my kids.

Lila asking for her to write the speech is just a horrible request. What is Phoebe supposed to write about???

I like where things are going…MESSY

“You do things in the moment for the person you hope you might be two years from now.”

HOW STRANGE TO PURCHASE THAT PAINTING?? I’m glad they acknowledged that previously glossed over detail

“How much work we’ll do just to feel something. I don’t think there is anything more human than that.”

“For the rest of the hour, the sex woman shows them short tutorials and how to touch themselves with various herbal lubricants, then concludes with a video of two pandas humping.” WHAT

I’m sorry, panda p*rn is INSANE

The car was- what?

“At night, a hotel comes alive. The fairy lights in the garden start to sparkle. The experimental harpist and cellist begin to play. The wedding people sprawl out of the parlor and assemble on the patio. They are still partying. The wedding people are always parting. It feels like what they are sent by God to do so.”

“I think my students teach me so much more than I could ever teach them.”

Sometimes people just want to be seen or heard. I love that interaction with Phoebe and Juice.

Yikes: Gary is the guy in the hot tub….YIKES.

“I want to slam it **** ** **** ****.” ROBERT CALM DOWN

I’m curious about Juice’s backstory. 🧃
