“Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.”

“The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks.

These things are your becoming.”
