I had no sympathy for drama queens.
I'd come to believe there was no food more depressing than Danish, a pastry that seemed stale upon arrival
Friends see most of each other’s flaws. Spouses see every awful last bit.
Sleep is like a cat: It only comes to you if you ignore it.
Don't be discouraged - every relationship you have is a failure, until you find the right one.
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
