once in a while you get on the wrong train and find yourself somewhere far from where you should be and try to distract yourself from feeling frustrated/irritated by reading one of those poems in the subway and realizing it’s actually quite good

i don't think you need to talk to a friend every day or even every week to feel connected. connection (for me) is more a measure of how much i can trust that they'll be there for me when i need it

more than anything else, i've found that music has a particularly strong influence on my mood that can be hard to control/predict. if it weren't for that, i'd listen to it all the time.

zooming out is such a powerful tool in conflict resolution. instead of making demands of someone, start with telling them why you need what you need. it's so obvious, but we get tunnel vision when we're in the heat of an argument.

one of the best experiences of writing fiction is when you get so sucked into the situation you're creating, you feel the adrenaline rush of the same, intense emotions your character is experiencing in your own body. it's exhilarating.
