I Don't Know If Anyone Has Noticed But I Only Ever Write About One Thing: Being Alone. The Fear Of Being Alone, The Desire To Not Be Alone, The Attempts We Make To Find Our Person, To Keep Our Person, To Convince Our Person To Not Leave Us Alone, The Joy Of Being With Our Person And Thus No Longer Alone, The Devastation Of Being Left Alone. The Need To Hear The Words: You Are Not Alone.

You Can't Tell Stories And Really Walk In Someone's Shoes And Not Have A Love For Them, Even If They're Doing Horrible Things.

You Literally Can Shoot Someone In The Face On Television And A 7-year-old Can Watch It. But You Can't Show The Slight Of A Man's Hip, Because Dear God, Someone Might Think Of Sex. And While We All Hope Our Kids Grow Up To Have Sex, We Do Not Hope They Grow Up To Shoot Someone In The Face.

When You Help Make People Healthier, It Makes The Nation Healthier, It Makes The World Healthier, It Makes The Economy Healthier.

I'm Fortunate. I've Always Had Medical Care. I've Always Had Access. I've Never Personally Had To Use A Planned Parenthood. But I Have Many Friends Who Have And Do And Did, And I Think It's Important That That Access Be There For Everyone.
