What is past is past. never go back. Not for excuses. Not for justification, not for happiness. You are what you are, the world is what it is.
When I was young, some women told me they loved me for my long eyelashes. I accepted. Later it was for my wit. Then for my power and money. Then for my talent. Then for my mind-deep. OK, I can handle all of it. The only woman who scares me is the one who loves me for myself alone. I have plans for her. I have poisons and daggers and dark graves in caves to hide her head. She can't be allowed to live. Especially if she's sexually faithful and never lies and always puts me ahead of everything and everyone.

If you're looking for work and have a choice of a job, choose a job that allows the opportunity for some creativity, and for spending time with your family. Even if it means less pay.
The beginning don't matter. The end don't matter. All that matters is what you do in between. . . the greatest reward is to know that you did your job when you were here on the planet.
I can't really write unless I'm full of inspiration. And even then I can't write unless I have some alone time.
