This is my world as I see it—you might see it my way, you might not.
I’m dull. Utterly boring and disgustingly average. I don’t have any super powers. I’m really a horrible housekeeper. I never finish what I start. I don’t have great ideas when I’m sleeping and then wake up and scribble them on a scratch pad on my bedside table. I like beige. I’m most comfortable in holey jeans and a great big sweatshirt. I have no idea where I’m going with this. I did have a plan when I started, but I can’t seem to remember what it was. Oh, now I remember. Five years ago I couldn’t have been this brutally honest about myself to anybody. Now I don’t care who knows. I’m actually kind of proud of who I am, of who I have become. My own skin is comfortable me now. I really don’t even remember that other person I used to be. Somehow in my life I lost who I was, but now I’m back. I know what makes me happy and I know what makes me sad. Actually accomplishing this is my greatest achievement (other than somehow having perfect kids). I’ve got boxes of awards and certificates, but they really don’t mean anything to me anymore. I don’t know what finally brought me back. Maybe I have just finally grown up.
“I'd like to have money. And I'd like to be a good writer. These two can come together, and I hope they will, but if that's too adorable, I'd rather have money.” -Dorothy Parker
"The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads."-William Styron
“I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had absolutely no other place to go.” -Abraham Lincoln
