I been silent so long now it’s gonna roar out of me like floodwaters and you think the guy telling this is ranting and raving my god; you think this is too horrible to have really happened, this is too awful to be the truth! but, please. it’s still hard for me to have a clear mind thinking on it. but it’s the truth even if it didn’t happen.

I feel like, when we're kids, you're sold into this fairy tale of what love is. that prince charming's gonna come along and save you and you're gonna live happily ever after. they're gonna rescue me from the bronx, and we're gonna go off and live in a castle somewhere and it's gonna be awesome. he's gonna love me forever, and i'm gonna love him forever, and it's gonna be real easy. and it's so different than that.

It doesn't matter who the candidates are. it doesn't matter the campaign. you know that's gonna happen. the washington post is gonna do it, the new york times is gonna do it, the three networks gonna do it, cnn's gonna do it, msnbc gonna do it, all the newspapers are gonna do it. for the vast majority of them. there are some exceptions. that sameness ends up being its own authority. if everywhere you look in the media tells you the same thing, you don't have to research.

Think of each wound as you would of a child who has been hurt by a friend. as long as that child is ranting and raving, trying to get back at the friend, one wound leads to another. but when the child can experience the consoling embrace of a parent, she or he can live through the pain, return to the friend, forgive, and build up a new relationship. be gentle with yourself, and let your heart be your loving parent as you live your wounds through.
