"I suppose almost everyone who writes is afflicted some of the time by the suspicion that nobody out there is listening."
Joan Didion (via thepaige-turner)
In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.

"The soul is silent.
If it speaks at all
it speaks in dreams."
If it speaks at all
it speaks in dreams."
Louise Glück, from Child Crying Out in “Poems 1962-2012″
