Tenderness & Freedom

There will always be those I cannot catch up with. There will always be someone with more abilities, gifts and talents.

If I don’t have my own room – which door should I slam when I have an argument? Where do I go when I want to talk to my friend who calls me in tears? Where should I go to concentrate on replying to an important e-mail?

“It’s nice to feel wanted despite a breakup. Not to mention the fact that it justifies us a bit.”

Women often ask me how to speak well about themselves so as not to piss off others.

I reach for a like as I would for the virtual equivalent of heat. Like the little match girl who reached for a match. She didn't believe it was going to keep her warm permanently, but she needed to experience short-term relief.
