L'esprit de l'escalier

I'm a crying lizard person, I miss you so much!

It was lovely as always to wake up with you! I'm so thankful for everything you've done to help me through these last few weeks. This is a happy day my lovely because it's the very start of our amazing new adventure together!

The rest of my life, I’m used to being independent, interesting. I have hobbies. This trip, I’m the addendum, the afterthought. I’m the extra box on the customs form, the “spouse of” instead of the reason for going.

Not sharing an opportunity to learn is a cardinal sin.

Two questions drive every creative person more than any others: What if? and Why not?

When we are overmedicated, our emotions become synthetic. For personal growth, for a satisfying marriage and for a more peaceful world, what we need is more empathy, compassion, receptivity, emotionality and vulnerability, not less. We need to stop labeling our sadness and anxiety as uncomfortable symptoms, and to appreciate them as a healthy, adaptive part of our biology.
