A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME IN THE WORDS OF OTHER PEOPLE.
I imagined many moons in the sky lighting the way to freedom. (Janelle Monae)
I got to thinking about how much time I spend in my life crashing around like a great gasping fish, either squirming away from some uncomfortable distress or flopping hungrily toward ever more pleasure. And I wondered whether it might serve me (and those who are burdened with the task of loving me) if I could learn to stay still and endure a bit more without always getting dragged along on the potholed road of circumstance. (Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love)
And whose heart is not a hungry fish? (Jocelyn Chua)
Sometimes I get so frightened, like everything I've done up tilll now is wrong. I have these realistic dreams and snap wide awake in the middle of the night. And for a while I can't work out what's real and what isn't... that kind of feeling. Do you have any idea what I'm saying? ...
The thought hits me a lot these days that maybe my novel-writing days are over. The world's crawling with stupid, innocent girls, and I'm just one of them, self-consciously chasing after dreams that'll never come true. (Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart)
