heart rooms
Don't put anyone out of your heart, there's room for all.
family thinking live-your-life
You have to live your life according to what comforts you, not what the rest of your family thinks you ought to be doing.
who-i-am mad remember
I notice when I'm on these trips, I read like mad. It's the only thing that seems to center me, bring me back to remembering who I am. Or forgetting who I am!
who-i-am pressure feels
With my friends, I don't feel pressure to be someone other than who I am.
couple stories anthology
I am also working on a couple of short stories for anthologies. This is new to me and Im enjoying it.
identity sense-of-humor lost
Haven't lost your sense of humor after all but your sense of identity is what seems to have been misplaced. No. Wrong. You don't lose what you never had.
moving loss order
And do not be paralyzed. It is better to move than to be unable to move, because you fear loss so much: loss of order, loss of security, loss of predictability.

Geez, if I could get through to you, kiddo, that depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling. Reduction, see? Of all feeling. People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.
allowed american-novelist kids otherwise
I'm glad I'm successful at it, because it's allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things. It's enabled me to do stuff that I otherwise wouldn't be able to do. But it's not who I am.
thinking giving too-much
Riding the train gives him too much time to think, he has decided. Too much thinking can ruin you.
reality people may
Depending on the reality one must face, one may prefer to opt for illusion.
