The only thing that keeps us from a place of joy is an illusion, the illusion of fear.

The woman you thought you talked to was like one out of my novels, nothing more than a dream, and illusion I conjured to feel better. That__ all I ever will be, unable to be that woman in real life.

Some people brag about standing for something so hard and so much, that they do not realize that they are actually sitting.

There are two conversations going on at the same time: the story and a conversation about how the story is being told.
