needs bigger awe
I need for there to be something bigger than me. I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out.
beautiful pain character
But the people who took the bus didn't experience the city as we experienced the city. The pain made the city more beautiful. The story made us different characters than we would have been if we had skipped the story and showed up at the ending an easier way.

If honesty is the key to intimacy, it means we don't have to be perfect and we don't have to pretend to be perfect.
thinking interesting waiting
Most of us are waiting. We're waiting for something interesting to happen. And I think we're going to wait forever if we don't do something more interesting with our lives.

I used to write when I was in the mood or felt inspired. Anymore, I write whether I feel inspired or not. It's a discipline. So that's definitely different. It's part of maturing as a person and as a professional.

All relationships are living and alive and moving and becoming something.

men role-models roles
Without a positive male role model in your life, it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.
writing reason memoir
The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
lonely book people
People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.
years sunrise associates
