A broken heart in real life isn't half as dreadful as it is in books. it's a good deal like a bad tooth, though you won't think that a very romantic simile. it takes spells of aching and gives you a sleepless night now and then, but between times it lets you enjoy life and dreams and echoes and peanut candy as if there were nothing the matter with it.

A Broken Heart In Real Life Isn't

I think life is cotton candy on a rainy day. for those who grew up with cotton candy the old-fashioned way, it is very delicate. pre-made cotton candy that has preservatives is not nearly as good or true. true cotton candy is sugar, color, and air and it melts very quickly. that was the metaphor - it can't be preserved, it can't be put aside, it can't be banked. it has to be experienced, like life.
Rainy Day Thinking Air
It sounds strange, somewhat on the line between irony and absurdity, to think that people would rather label and judge something as significant as each other but completely bypass a peanut. ... world peace is only a dream because people won't allow themselves and others around them to simply be peanuts. we won't allow the color of a man's heart to be the color of his skin, the premise of his beliefs, and his self-worth. we won't allow him to be a peanut, therefore we won't allow ourselves to come to live in harmony. (diary 18)

When you have a baby, you set off an explosion in your marriage, and when the dust settles, your marriage is different from what it was. not better, necessarily; not worse, necessarily; but different.
Baby Dust Different
Since the women are the ones who bear the babies and there's nothing we can do about that, our laws and customs then make it the financial obligation of the husband to provide the support. it is his obligation and his sole obligation. and this is exactly and precisely what we will lose if the equal rights amendment is passed.
