The problem was, I was stuck in a thought that I had to heal from everything or heal from nothing. Where I thought I had to sort of deny everything that I had been through, or I was going to have to do this incredibly impossible work. But I don’t have to get over it. I don’t have to get over the pain. It’s there. It’s part of everything. It’s part of love, it’s part of life. It’s part of being happy. When I look at the faces of all my darling old ladies, I see the lines. From happiness, from anger, from sadness. It’s all there, and it’s all part of them. We don’t get out of life without it.”
