‘That’s the sad part,’ she said. ‘Nobody gets to feel good.’
“Last Night” by Dennis McFarland (1984)
‘That’s the sad part,’ she said. ‘Nobody gets to feel good.’
“Last Night” by Dennis McFarland (1984)
But the other night I did meet this guy. I don’t know. I mean I don’t know what. It got me rattled. He was an actor, okay? with cheekbones and a chin and this direct soulful gaze and I thought forget this. Needless to say…
“Sparks” by Susan Minot (1987)
You know what’s strange? After all those years, of him saying he’d kill me if I ever left him, he was the one to go. Just because he thought I was taking too much cocaine. But really, he didn’t seem very upset to leave at all.
“Conviction” by Tama Janowitz (1986)
Life is what is lived by American mothers and fathers, Swedish townspeople, European cityfolk–but she is none of these.
“The Incorrect Hour” by Debra Spark (1986)
‘Leveling with other people is important to me,’ I answered. ‘And you’re important to me.’ Then I said, ‘And whales.’
“Where We Are Now” by Ethan Canin (1986)
Why does he say he wants to sleep with her forever, but sleep with her only once a month? Why does he say she makes him happy, then tell her he’s unhappy?
“Claire’s Lover’s Church by Teri Ruch (1984)
‘Who are you anyway?’ said Jeremy.
His smile fading, my father shrugged.
’Who are you?’
My father shrugged again.
“In the American Society” by Gish Jen (1987)
The person you marry is the person you fight with. The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice -whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad. What we gain is also what we lose. What creates our positive experiences will define our negative experiences.
Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck (via obitchuaries)
