“I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat!”
“I have to keep reminding myself that almost everybody is always lying.”
“I am reminded of the advice of my neighbor. "Never worry about your heart till it stops beating. ”
“I need to take an emotional breath, step back, and remind myself who’s actually in charge of my life.”
“You have to leave your heart to get on with it. It's rather like breathing. We don't have to remind ourselves to breathe.”
“Sometimes I remind myself that I almost skipped the party, that I almost went to a different college, that the whim of a minute could have changed everything and everyone. Our lives, so settled, so specific, are built on happenstance.”
