long way used
You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.
certain behinds amount
happiness aint got no Ph.D. or no certain amount of zeroes behind it!
believe people attention
As a writer, you get to bring attention to something without preaching. I don't believe in being didactic. So if you dramatize something, you automatically bring attention to it if people read it.
heart writing care
Write from your heart, and God will take care of the rest.
men pet like-you
I also discovered that you can get used to a man , much like you do a household pet!
men would-be kind
I would be content being a housewife if I could find the kind of man who wouldn't treat me like one.
love confused passion
Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.
believe writing pride
I just believe that young people need to be able to learn how to write in their own voice. Just like a musician, you pride yourself on having your own distinct sound.
people
People always have something to say about what you do and how you do it.
thinking people tragedy
I would like to think that as a result of not just my own experiences, but at least being empathetic and compassionate about other people's experiences and plights and tragedies, that I am affected by it and learn from it.
worry skins want
Folks want to glow, to leave their worries and dead skin behind.
writing willing
Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.
writing heart use
Writing is my shelter. I don't hide behind the words; I use them to dig inside my heart to find the truth.
running people mouths
People like to run their mouths.
