Jane, these last two stories of yours are so powerful. I know you’ve said there’s other issues with publishing your creative stuff here, but I wish you’d find a way around, at least more often. Not that your regular posts aren’t good, because they are, but reading stories like these are rare treats.

My jump is over cigarettes, which I quit, started, quit, started, quit……..and then my mother died and I felt like I needed them. I also don’t feel ready to quit yet, but I will one day soon. You didn’t list that addiction, but it’s a strong one, too, you know? You still smoke, right?

I’m printing these stories out so I can read them, like I read Elephant Girls and the Venus Women stories, over and over again.

nothing feels as perfect or reliable as the things you’re already familiar with.

oh yes, this is what keeps me stretching out of my comfort zone–my desire to make that “zone” ever wider and deeper so I can always find it, so I have multiple paths to my truest self.

once again, your words take people to a place they know but haven’t seen clearly until you described it.
