It is technically a failure when you don't try.
I certainly know I have been blessed with much more empathy than I ever knew I would feel for other people.
One feels so despairing on some levels about what's going on in our culture, in regards to things like gender inequality. But there is progress. There is enhanced empathy and respect for others, we are fighting the tide, even though it seems like a tug of war sometimes.
I guess I'm lucky to have been blindsided. I'm lucky to have gotten into fistfights, in a way. I'm lucky I learned how to stop them.
I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.
Boredom is a great motivator.
I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.
I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.
When asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it's more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don't practice or preach it, however. But Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.
Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.
Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.
Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.
It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.
