Kindle Notes & Highlights
Often you don’t know whether you’re the hero of a romantic comedy or the villain on a Lifetime special until the restraining order arrives.
The goal of a life is not to provide material for good stories.
The trick, I suppose, is to find someone with a touch of the pathology you require, but not so much that it will destroy you. But, as with drinking just enough to feel mellow and well-disposed toward the world, but not so much that you end up vomiting in the street, this can take some trial and error to calibrate.
I’m a little appalled by all the time I’ve lost. I don’t feel middle-aged—I just feel like I’ve been young a lot longer than most people.
Because it turns out that you can blow life off for as long as you want, but you still have to take the finals.
