....but I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.

That message is simple: When you come to one of the many moments in life when you must give an account of yourself, provide a ledger of what you have been, and done, and meant to the world, do not, I pray, discount that you filled a dying man’s days with a sated joy, a joy unknown to me in all my prior years, a joy that does not hunger for more and more, but rests, satisfied. In this time, right now, that is an enormous thing.

All the knowledge in the world about any kind of art is in truth are the experiences of the artist.
She is not necessarily following all her tips and tricks but she is at all stages in practise mode. Practice makes the art better.
Any advice where practice is not mentioned is vague. Because it's the only thing one should consider.
One may read, listen, watch and do all kinds of observation and research and will not learn how to paint until you take a brush dip it in paint and do the actual painting.
And we go to run and win a marathon after taking advice from a swimmer is exactly what most of us do.
What do you think..??

You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are 💕
—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving ☺️—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first.

Things in life are dated by our previous lives. That even in smallest events there's no such thing as coincidence.

They are a reminder that our lives will get better if we just hold on to hope. Your happy ending may not be what you expect, but that is what will make it so special.
