To me, constructive criticism is when people take ownership of their ideas. That’s why I don’t listen to anything that’s anonymous. But it’s hard; when there’s something hurtful out there, I still want to read it over and over and memorize it and explain my point of view to the person. Brene Brown

James Stephens
In utter loneliness a writer tries to explain the inexplicable. John Steinbeck
