Quote by Rebecca Serle

“The truth is hard. It's complicated. It does not always follow a simple structure. It is not always convenient. That's why sometimes we do our best to leave it out of the story for as long as possible. We choose to let it linger in the corners, we don't spotlight it. But eventually, it catches up to us. Of course it does. You can run but you can't hide.”

“I don't know why I get jealous, since you don't make money or get any attention for it, but I guess it's because I'd rather be doing what you're doing. I mean, I'll have a day in the office where I look at the clock and think 'Oh good, it's eight-forty-five, only seven and a quarter more hours to go; oh good, it's nine-thirty, only six and a half hours to go; oh good, it's nine-forty-five, et cetera, and then we'll meet for a drink and you will have been writing all day and you look happy and crazed, like you just had some wonderful sex or drugs. I resent that all of your time is free time, because half of my life is a bore to me, and I feel guilty because I want to write but I don't write. I can't face all that blank paper.”

“We live most of our lives in segregation with people of our same level. We are in relationships with people around our age, in school with people of our education level, at work with people of our same pay rate, and in neighborhoods with people living the same as us. We are so comfortable with being around ourselves that when someone walks in the room of a greater level we are reminded of the insecurities in ourselves. It’s like love. Things that we think are gone until we are around a certain person again. The public internet is one of our only unsegregated places. This causes us to be digitally jealous of lives that are real and made up. I can only imagine if billionaires really showed their lives. Where would our jealousy be then? We’ll only find happiness when we find it within ourselves. Jealousy is a never ending game.”
