mistake forever matter
The mistakes you make now count. Not for everything, and not forever. But they do matter, and they shape you.
beach real needs
The thing is, you can’t always have the best of everything. Because for a life to be real, you need it all: good and bad, beach and concrete, the familiar and the unknown, big talkers and small towns.
nice mean writing
I just can't ever be a free spirit and just relax. When it comes to work, this is good. I'm very disciplined, which with writing is often half the battle, or more. But it also means that if I want to, say, play hooky and chocolate and watch Bravo all afternoon, I feel horribly guilty. I wish I could find a nice balance.
crazy awful ends
Everything always gets crazy at the end. You just have to keep going, regardless of how awful it gets. So that's what I do.
problem bigger bigger-problems
If you were dead," Owen told her, "you'd have bigger problems than what you were wearing.
summer boys might
My sister, who never understood most of the things I wanted her to, might have been able to understand what had happened to me in this summer of weddings and beginnings. And she was right. The first boy was always the hardest.
writing thinking worry
I used to worry I was entirely uninteresting, but the truth is I think if my life was more exciting I'd never have any time to write.

As impossible, in fact, as keeping the moon...So I looked down the line at all my friends, knowing I would always remember this. And then I turned my gaze back up to the sky, and put my faith in that moon and its return.
simple office hey
You just walk over there and into the office and say, 'Hey, be my prom date,'" he said. "It's that simple.
long trying different
Clearly, sharing something could take you a long way, or at least to a different place than you'd planned. Like a friendship or a family, or even jsut alone on a curb on a Saturday, trying to get your bearings as best you can.
beach writing motherhood
I honestly don't have many creative outlets. I'm not crafty - although motherhood has forced me to try to be - and I can only draw trees, beaches, and clouds. I'm a so-so cook except for deviled eggs. Writing has always been the one thing I feel that I am pretty good at doing. But it's enough, thank goodness.
judgement supportive olivia
It wasn't like I was some expert on the meaning of being supportive. Was it being loyal even against your better judgement? Or, like Olivia, was it making your displeasure known from the start, even when someone didn't want to hear it?
risk sometimes
But risk is just part of relationships. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
night long-nights long
its been a long night" "aren't they all?
