There are words that must be said. You part ways with a person, but inside you live a couple of phrases that will torment you until you release them. It’s not necessarily that the person they’re meant for should hear them…

I long for closeness. For understanding each other with half a word — when I say only a fragment of a thought, and HE picks it up and answers — also with a fragment — and I understand.

It passed quietly, almost unnoticed. Had I not come across an eye-catching poster by chance at the cinema, I might never have learned about it. The film doesn’t look low-budget considering that 19 million was spent on it. But no expense was spared on the stars. Kiera, Adrien – almost all the actors are well-known.

Leap out of the warm bed. Find the soft silky terrycloth socks wrinkled during sleep. White ones. Was I cold? Was it the heat of the body next to me, or a dream of warmth and sun? Cold floor and morning. A yogurt shake and tights.

I’ve always been stumped by the question, "How are you?" Or, for that matter, "How’s it going?" You forgot how to live, and you’d answer, “Nothing much.” I usually say, “Good” or “Great!” Or sometimes, I have this passphrase: “Awesome!” which, of course, doesn’t really capture the vast variety of my existence. However, it’s said that those who go into too much detail when asked, “How’s it going?” risk being labeled as boring, so I won’t go into a deep dive about what's going on in my mind, subconscious, and so on.

First and foremost, monitor your thinking. We begin with the technique: "Watch Your Words!" Start with spoken words — they’re easier to control than thoughts. First step: stop complaining about life.

I believe life doesn’t have to be beautiful. And it certainly doesn’t have to be perfect. Perfection is a myth.

Love is not something that exists outside of us, beyond our being, consciousness, or heart. Love is our state, and we are solely responsible for it. Love cannot be killed from the outside—only from within.
