I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.

“The two most importance lessons I have learned on trauma:
1. never drink and operate anything with a motor.
2. WEAR A DAMN SEATBELT!”

Human beings can lose their lives in libraries. They ought to be warned.

Regret for the things we do can be tampered with time. It is regret for the things we do not do that is inconsolable.

Perfect spring moment
Waiting to cross the street. In sunshine. Wearing sunglasses. The first tang of pomegranate limeade.
If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.

There is strength in the differences between us. There is comfort where we overlap.

When I was 4, we inherited a basset named Sucha from my grandmother. He never had as much energy as the one in this video, but I’ll always have a weakness for dogs with more ear than leg.
That’s all life is: a series of changes and adjustments and the feelings that follow them.
