Sometimes we do things, sometimes we do not

Sometimes we desire something more than anything. The painting so vivid in the mind is frozen by the trembling hand, then the paint dries, the sun sets and the canvas stays blank. The story is complete, the setting, the characters, the plot, all meaningful and interesting, the reader would put down the book, reflect upon everything, and become better for it. But the writer stares at the blinking cursor, blinking with the ticking of the clock, tick-tock, tock-tick until the sun rises again.

Outliving a Deceased Parent

Writer, producer, and filmmaker, Ava DuVernay was once asked “how do you deal with heartbreak?” She replied “You don’t. You live with it like a stranger until it becomes familiar and changes form. Until it becomes knowledge and power. But until then, just let it walk beside you. There’s really nothing else to be done.”
