Story is the language of the heart.
I’ve heard that story about kids are high naturally, but I’ve seen kids that aren’t high, kids who’ve had the high taken out of them.
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There’s a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn’t exist.

Living is not the story of your life. Living is the process of experiencing right now.
A story invites both writer and reader into a kind of superficial ease: we want to slide along, pleasingly entertained, lost in the fictional dream.
For we are all bound in stories, and as the years pile up they turn to stone, layer upon layer, building our lives.
The best way to spoil a good story is by sticking to the facts.
The best way to make a long story short is to stop listening.
I want a body of work; I want a good story after a good story.
