“Honey, you hurt yourself,” she says, “because everybody around you hurts people and is hurting and that’s just the story you were given. You can’t get stuck in that. Don’t get stuck in any one story, not even your own. “That’s the difference between love and hunger,” she says. “Hunger is a story you get stuck in. Love’s the story that takes you somewhere new.”
