I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good, or make you feel miserable either. Life is just supposed to make you feel.
It's as if I've arrived in a place where it's all spirit and no body -- an overwhelming sense of calm . . . I actually began to feel blessed.
It ain't really what you'd call change. It's all happened before and it'll happen again with a different set of facts.
Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song.
Spoiled. That's all it's about -- can't live without this, can't live without that. You can live without anything you weren't born with, and you can make it through on even half of that.
