Observations

• Invisibility is only cool if you are really invisible and not just being treated like you are.
• Some people get to choose when they want to be considered mature, and when they want to hide behind the protective wall of childhood. Whether or not they take responsibility for their words and actions depends on which they choose at the moment. And this is totally acceptable with all those around them, so it has to be okay.
• Being a mom is the most challenging task I'll ever love.
• I have written at least a dozen novels. Unfortunately they are all still in my head.
• You can say, "All you need to do is ask" a million times, but you can't make them ask.
• Coerced validation is not validation, but concession.
• It's really too bad that I have to get old to learn so many important lessons.
