Nothing is never nothing. It's always something.

Twice we stood beside each other at the altar, Rosie. Twice. And twice
we got it wrong. I needed you to be there for my wedding day but I was too
stupid to see that I needed you to be the reason for my wedding day. But we
got it all wrong.
If you can't put magnolia on a wall then there are always a million other colors you can use, if you can't pay your phone bill then just write letters telling them. I'm not playing down the importance of these things, yes you need money for food, yes you need food to survive, but you also need sleep to have energy, to smile to be happy, and to be happy so you can laugh, just so you don't keel over with a heart attack. People forget they have options. And they forget that those things really don't matter. They should concentrate on what they have and not what they don't have. And by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have, it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing, not whining and moaning.
Cecelia AhernFatherMichael: OK we should get on with this; I don’t want to be late for
my 2 o’clock. First I have to ask, is there anyone in here
who thinks there is any reason why these two should not
be married?
LonelyLady: Yes.
SureOne: I could give more than one reason.
Buttercup: Hell yes.
SoOverHim: DON’T DO IT!
FatherMichael: Well I’m afraid this has put me in a very tricky predicament.
Divorced_1: Father we are in a divorced chat room, of course they all
object to marriage. Can we get on with it?
There were hundreds of them spread across the floor, each telling its own tale of triumph or sadness, each letter representing a phase in her life. She had kept them all.
Cecelia AhernI learned something important that night. You shouldn’t try to stop everything from happening. Sometimes you’re supposed to feel awkward. Sometimes you’re supposed to be vulnerable in front of people. Sometimes it’s necessary, because it’s all part of you getting to the next part of yourself, the next day.
Cecelia AhernAll I need is
backup. He’s the little angel that sits on my shoulder whispering in my ear,
“You can do it!” It’s funny. I’m thirty years old now and I still feel like a little
girl. I’m still looking around to check and see what other people are doing
to make sure I’m not completely different; I’m still looking around for help,
hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice. But I can’t seem to be able
to catch anybody’s eye. Nobody else around me seems to be looking around
and wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I’m the only person who
is confused and concerned about the choices I’ve made and where I’m
headed? Everywhere I look, I see people just getting on with it. Maybe I
should just follow suit and get on with it.
Ruby: How nice for you all. How is the wonderfully helpful Ursula?
Rosie: Wonderfully helpful. Yesterday she told me I had problems discussing
my feelings.
Ruby: And?
Rosie: And I told her that made me feel angry and that she could go fuck
herself.
Ruby: Well expressed.
Rosie: Thank you. I don’t see where there was a problem, I successfully
explained how I felt and she clearly understood what I meant. No
problems . . .
Her life in ink.
Cecelia AhernOnce again, I don’t quite know where I’m headed Steph. It seems that
every few years I’m shoveling up the pieces of my life and starting from
scratch all over. No matter what I do or how hard I try I can’t seem to reach
the dizzy heights of happiness, success, and security, like so many people do.
And I’m not talking about becoming a millionaire and living happily ever
after. I just mean reaching a point in my life that I can stop what I’m doing,
take a look around me, breathe a sigh of relief, and think “I’m where I want
to be now.
