“Wherever you go, there you are. Your emptiness goes with you.
Maddening. Things that help: writing, reading, water, walks, forgiving
myself every other minute, practicing easy yoga, taking deep breaths,
and petting my dogs. These things don't fill me completely, but they
remind me that it is not my job to fill myself. It's just my job to
notice my emptiness and find graceful ways to live as a broken, unfilled
human...
If there's a silver lining to the emptiness, here it is: the unfillable is what brings people together. I've never made a friend by bragging about my strengths, but I've made countless by sharing my weakness and my emptiness.”
