More From Peter McWilliams

The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional. anxiety is not a sin; it's an emotion. so don't be anxious about feeling anxious. anxiety can, however, lead to sinful behavior. when we numb our fears with six-packs or food binges, when we spew anger like krakatau, when we peddle our fears to anyone who will buy them, we're sinning.

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. in the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. it's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. getting happy, okay? getting happy.

The fact that we are all trained to be mothers from infancy on means that we are all trained to devote our lives to men, whether they are our sons or not; that we are all trained to force other women to exemplify the lack of qualities which characterizes the cultural construct of femininity.

Mothers are great. they outlast everything. but when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.

Here's what i hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger. sharing dna doesn't make you fast friends. this wasn't a joyous reunion. it was just awkward.
