Sloane Crosley quotes about
growing-up people like-you
As we grow up, it feels like you should either invite people into your life or not. There should be fewer and fewer instances of friends you ‘can only take in small doses.’
waiting sound happens
I spent a lot of time waiting for things to happen to me, which is more or less as pathetic as it sounds.
lonely people
A lot of people are lonely. A lot of people are lonely even when they're surrounded by other people.
logic remarkable
It's remarkable the logic we'll build around a misapprehension.
years noise complaints
I thought I'd had another few decades before my noise complaint years.
justice people awkward
I felt like I wasn't doing justice to either side of my life. It wasn't pronounced. Publicity is an awkward thing to do. It is awkward to call people up all the time and ask them for things on a very basic level.
extremes
We are only as good as our most extreme experiences
crush ex-boyfriend dancing
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.
sleep towns imperfect
Who do you have to sleep with to get laid in this town?
rotten truth-is novel
The truth is, I wrote a novel when I was 23. It's hideously bad. Truly rotten.
growing-up kids dessert-first
You just don't notice the time of your own metamorphosis. Until you do. Every once in a while time dissolves and you remember what you liked as a kid. You jump on your hotel bed, order dessert first, decide to put every piece of jewelry you own on your body and leave the house. Why? Because you can. Because you're the boss. Because... Ooooh. Shiny.
break-up one-day way
I hope to one day co-sign a lease with another person but, well, it doesn't plague me that I have yet to do so. Put it this way: I've never had to violently tug at my own pillow at 2 A.M. to get myself to stop snoring.
names different would-be
and there's something about having an especially different name that makes it difficult to imagine what you would be like as a Jennifer.
karma natural-instinct helping
Because this is the beauty of strangers: we're all just doing our best to help each other out, motivated not by karma but by a natural instinct to help the greater whole.
