“The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom, and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that, you start losing relatability.

“When we believe we are losing control, we grab on tight. When our greatest fear comes upon us, we clench our fist and teeth, close our eyes and hold on. We must learn how to let go.

“Like driving along a bumpy road and losing control of the steering wheel, tossing you—just a tad—off the road. The wheels kick up some dirt, but you're able to pull it back. Yet no matter how hard you try to drive straight, something keeps jerking you to the side. You have so little control over anything anymore. And at some point, the struggle becomes too much—too tiring—and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.” TryingLittlesMatterHardHappensAbleSidesStruggleToo MuchLetting GoLosingTragedyDrivingKicksWheelsAllowingDirtTireSteeringLosing ControlBumpy Roads Book:Thirteen Reasons Why Source: Thirteen Reasons Why

“He tasted deeper, holding himself over me, and suddenly he was everywhere; his knee trapping my leg, his lips grazing warm, rough, sensuous.

“And yet as a coach, I know that being fixated on winning (or more likely, not losing) is counterproductive, especially when it causes you to lose control of your emotions.

You can be just as tough, but more effectively tough.” PeopleIfsLoveNeedsLooksPersonsFeelingsProblemEnergyLosesStrengthLetting GoLosingToughConcernAngerInner StrengthRighteousnessWrath Author:Robert Thurman
