But i think we were walking around like we were invincible. and maybe that's a bad way to live your life. because you're not invincible. nobody is. and maybe now that we've learned that, we'll be better.

Thinking Live Your Life Way To Live

More From David Levithan

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.
Basketball Pain Motivation
I learned to live many years ago. something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if i had my druthers, it would never have been changed at all. what i learned from it is that today seems to be the hardest lesson of all. i learned to love the journey, not the destination. i learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. i learned to look at all the good in the world and to try to give some of it back because i believed in it completely and utterly.
Journey Years Giving
Nobody wants to admit to this, but bad things will keep on happening. maybe that's beause it's all a chain, and a long time ago someone did the first bad thing, and that led someone else to do another bad thing, and so on. you know, like that game where you whisper a sentence into someone's ear, and that person whispers it to someone else, and it all comes out wrong in the end. but then again, maybe bad things happen because it's the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.
Games Long Ears
If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.
Liars Party Goal
When you feel good, everything around you is good, when everything around you is great, everything makes you happy. you are loving everything that is around you, because you are loving yourself. because you like the way you are. because you are happy with your life. you are happy with the movie that you are producing, happy with your agreements with life. you are at peace, and you are happy. you live in that state of bliss where everything is so wonderful, and everything is so beautiful. in that state of bliss you are making love all the time with everything that you perceive.
Motivational Beautiful Loving Yourself
Do the stuff that only you can do. the urge, starting out, is to copy. and that's not a bad thing. most of us only find our own voices after we've sounded like a lot of other people. but the one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. so write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. the moment that you feel that, just possibly, you're walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself. that's the moment you may be starting to get it right.

One objection i have heard voiced to works of this kind—dealing with texas—is the amount of gore spilled across the pages. it can not be otherwise. in order to write a realistic and true history of any part of the southwest, one must narrate such things, even at the risk of monotony.

I would recognise myself in each of his translations and he would feel betrayed and annoyed whenever i didn't write something the way he would have. a part of me died with him, a part of him lives with me.

The level at which my ocd enters my writing process isn't that i slap the keyboard - it's more along the lines of a compulsive need to swap syllables around, rework words and sentences - i revise for the pleasure and satisfaction of it, rather than out of a sense of duty.

I decided to write category romance as i'd recently discovered them, and enjoyed them.
