I love feeling loved.
I don't love knowing that I will always come in second place.
I love the fact that at least sometimes when I am in my home, I'm not alone.
I don't love the fact that it's not always.
I love not having to answer to him.
I don't love that he doesn't answer to me.
I love the way I feel when I am with him.
I don't love the way I feel when I'm not.
You're not important enough to have a stranglehold on me. You don't get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.
Jodi PicoultThe first question she was asked was What do you do? as if that were enough to define you. Nobody ever asked you who you really were, because that changed. You might be a judge or a mother or a dreamer. You might be a loner or a visionary or a pessimist. You might be the victim, and you might be the bully. You could be the parent, and also the child. You might wond one day and heal the next.

Imagine if you were the positive pole of a magnet, and you were told that under no circumstances were you allowed to touch that negative pole that was sucking you in like a black hole. Or if you crawled out of the desert and found a woman standing with a pitcher of ice water, but she held it out of your reach. Imagine jumping off a building, and then being told not to fall.
That's what it feels like to want a drink.
