Feelings are Fickle Dushka Zapata

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is that someone else has the answers that we need. That someone else has something we don't have - a wisdom, a perspective, a gift - that can save us. I am adamantly against giving any form of personal advice. I write about things I've experienced and share what I have learned, and that's what this book is about. But, remember. You have all the answers. You have all the power. Do not squander it. Do not relinquish one bit of it. Do not give it away. Do not believe that someone else has everything figured out. You have no idea what a mess I can be, with my inability to sleep and my anxiety, my tendency to go full tilt on everything and the sloppy rainbow love I splatter across pristine things. You don't see the middle of the night panic, the same mistakes I make over and over. My god. I know this. I just wrote about this. Why am I doing it again?I don't have the answers that you need. But you do. You do, and as you stop looking outside of yourself and look inside, these answers will become increasingly clear. Listen to that.
