I use Netscape Navigator, watch Home Improvement, wear chunky sneakers and borrow library books with bar codes. That's what I do. I read and I know things.
Not every difficult experience is trauma. Not every upsetting event is harm.
What separates ordinary from extraordinary hardship is the severity and duration of impaired functioning.
Confusing life-altering pain with discomfort minimizes suffering and undermines resilience.
If you believe you can change—if you make it a habit—the change becomes real. This is the real power of habit: the insight that your habits are what you choose them to be. Once that choice occurs—and becomes automatic—it’s not only real, it starts to seem inevitable.
"Best friends" are a modern invention.
The average person has at least 3 close friends. We don't have to rank them or rely on one for everything.
Friendship is about mutuality, not exclusivity. Different people offer different kinds of joy and support.

@amahnke I love Lore! It is a perfect example of starting from nothing but passion and turning it into something amazing! I give my students the first episode, three along the way, and then the latest episode. They get hooked on your storytelling AND they also become inspired!
