Best Friends

Sometimes I find such comfort in rereading passages of my favorite books. These books are like friends who nourish, listen, and love you all at once. One of these books is Bird By Bird, by Anne Lamott.

You are going to have to give and give and give, or there's no reason for you to be writing. You have to give from the deepest part of yourself, and you are going to have to go on giving, and the giving is going to have to be its own reward. There's no cosmic importance to your getting something published, but there is in learning to be a giver.
