“I asked myself, what makes up a human life? Are you not human if you lack a proper bed and a job and a purpose? Do you need someone saying they love you back, in order to be human? Do you need to see them every day? And if the answer to all these things was yes, then why had I never felt more human? And if not, then why did people insist that you needed all those things?” PeopleLifePainLife LessonsLonelinessLife And Living Author:Guy Mankowski
“It occurred to me that so often in life, as we move around the stage set of this world, we feel as if we are trying to create a sense of truth about what we do. We use rituals and dates, and we imbue events with significance, all as part of our desperate attempt to make life feel real. But perhaps the only real is our private communion with a personal sense of meaning?” PeopleLife LessonsHealingLife PhilosophyLife And LivingLife Quotes And SayingsMeaning Author:Guy Mankowski
“It all stings. Every humiliation just illuminates, like a row of promenade lights, all the other rejections and betrayals that snake into the darkness of your past.

All you have is what people are doing in the room with you now.” PainLife LessonsPainful Situation Author:Guy Mankowski
