Notice what gets in the way of you honoring this connection. Notice what deters you from following your intuition about things. Notice how the pain of your past informs your work in the present and even your visions for the future. Be curious about your reasons for doing the work that you do. What gets healed within you when you do it?

“To DePaulo, this is a huge wasted opportunity: A more rigorous attempt to study single people, she believes, could teach us a great deal about what it means to live life according to your own values, about the oft-forgotten pleasures of solitude, about not putting all your eggs into one social and emotional basket. More important, it could dispel some myths and unrealistic expectations about marriage that strain relationships and cause unhappiness.“

I don’t know. Sometimes you get a line, a phrase, sometimes you’re crying, or it’s the curve of a chair that hurts you and you don’t know why, or sometimes you just want to write a poem, and you don’t know what it’s about. I will fool around on the typewriter. It might take me ten pages of nothing, of terrible writing, and then I’ll get a line, and I’ll think, “That’s what I mean!” What you’re doing is hunting for what you mean, what you’re trying to say. You don’t know when you start.
