Quotes by Lisa Anselmo (?)

“Nostalgia is in my blood. My mother was a passionate teacher of history and a lover of all things "was." I, too, prefer the bygone, and I'm prone to waxing wistful over the end of something even as I'm living it--cherishing, hanging on.”
― Lisa Anselmo, My (Part-Time) Paris Life: How Running Away Brought Me Home

“All your life, they encourage you to dream big. “Reach for the stars,” they tell children. But no one ever said anything about how you’d feel after the dream became real. You grew up thinking that once you were living the dream, all your problems would be solved. You’d be magically transformed into an untouchable, celestial being living happily ever after.”
