In some way your life is doubled. You’re you and the other person.
It makes you feel like you want to live.What is the worst job you’ve ever done? Doing the audiobook of the first book. It was hard. I couldn’t do that again.
Full of passion and laughter.
Relief and an achy feeling in your cheeks from smiling.
Earnest, driven, Gemini.
Greed, lack of empathy. Same thing.
I cried last week after talking about marriage equality with my daughters. My oldest let slip that she believed that if the supreme court overturned Obergefell, she wouldn’t have parents any more. I felt angry with my country and ashamed that I didn’t consider the possibility that she might think that.
I love you but I hate your lifestyle.
I’m the happiest right now. I can see that I’m in a kind of sweet spot: my parents are alive, my kids are little, my wife is hot and my body doesn’t hurt.
Self-righteousness and a phobia of embarrassment.
