You see the people you love the way they are in your head but every once in a while you accidentally catch a glimp of them in real time and in those spilt seconds as your brain scrambles to adjust to the new reality small things inside you swerve off the road and drives off a cliff spinning and screaming all the way down ↗

He whistles. Que viva Colombia. Hands you back the Book. You really should write the cheater's guide to love. You think? I do. It takes a while. You see the tall girl. You go to more doctors. You celebrate Arlenny's Ph.D defense. And then one June night you scribble the ex's name and: The half-life of love is forever. You bust out a couple more things. Then you put your head down. The next day you look at the new pages. For once you don't want to burn them or give up writing forever. It's a start, you say to the room. That's about it. In the months that follow you bend to the work, because it feels like hope, like grace- and because you know in your lying cheater's heart that sometimes a start is all we ever get. ↗

We all have our own stories. The story you tell about yourself, even if you only tell it to yourself, drives your actions and has a significant impact on your focus. ↗

I do a public access show with puppets. Puppets called actors, TV and movie stars. ↗

That will do extremely well, child. You have delighted us long enough. Let the other young ladies have time to exhibit. ↗

Popular music is a microcosm of the culture, Eliza. It reflects the mentality of the population. ↗

That's the only way I could describe the music. It was the sonic equivalent of flight ↗

Mormons invented themselves just as other religious and ethnic groups invented themselves. But Mormons did so in such a singularly impressive way that we will probably always remain baffled as to how exactly it happened. ↗
