I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

It's easy to get rid of things when there is an obvious reason for doing so. It's much more difficult when there is no compelling reason.

I wanted out of my pain and that silliness, but I wanted an easy out. That's before realizing that there is no easy out. Before accepting that you just have to do the work.

I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.

I was trying to find out what it was that everybody else understood without giving up my stubborn and hard-won lack of understanding.

Sometimes change is good. Although I didn't want to leave.

A lot of the ups and downs for me, especially the downs, I feel like it came in a lot of indirect ways because I didn't appreciate what I had.

I have always tried my best to do what I thought was the right thing at the time.

Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.
