Getting married and really digging in with another human being can point out your greatest strengths and your greatest weaknesses.

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.

Trying to find a heart that's not walking away.

It's not the circumstances that determine who you're gonna be but how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way.

Inspiration is nothing without work.
