You know what I realized? No one else lives in my memories but me.

All at once it occurs to me that I'm the one who needs to give myself the break, to accept myself for who I am.

For whatever it's worth, I believe we're born imperfect, and perfection, whatever that may be, is unattainable by us mere humans.

One HELLO? can change a life.One HELLO? can save a life.

Frankie, I'm fully awake and more curious than George. If we hang up I'll lie here formulating a million reasons for your call, none of them your truth, and that would drive me crazy. You wouldn't do that to the guy who has your grandmother's old phone number, would you? Trust me, you can tell me anything.—Emerson
