“Every strong swimmer has a story about nearly drowning.”
“If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too? ”
“Swimmers know full well that every second has a beginning, a middle, and an end.”
“But nearly every woman I know has a roughly similar story - in fact, dozens of them: stories about being obsessed with a celebrity, work colleague or someone they vaguely knew for years; living in a parallel world in their head; conjuring up endless plots and scenarios for this thing that never actually happened.”
“Every life is a love story, but few of us know what love is until the story is nearly over.”
“Every life has a story and every story needs a writer.”
