I didn't mind getting old when I was young. It's the being old now that's getting to me.
My marriage had its ups and downs like anyone's, but when it came down to it, I knew it was solid. I miss that sort of security, and that sort of connection with someone.
When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
If the universe is bigger and stranger than I can imagine, it's best to meet it with an empty bladder.
When you're a teenager and you're in love, it's obvious to everyone but you and the person you're in love with.
Part of what makes us human is what we mean to other people, and what people mean to us.
You do what you have to do to give people closure; it makes them feel better and it doesn't cost you much to do it. I'd rather apologize for something I didn't really care about and leave someone on Earth wishing me well.
