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.

I Think It's Important For Women To Have A Means To Get Health Care. I Think It's Important That Women Have A Place To Go To Get Pap Smears And Cancer Screenings. And It Shouldn't Be Considered Extra. It Shouldn't Be Considered Something That Can Be "cut." It Shouldn't Be Something That's In Danger Of Going Away.

Finally I Want To Say This: If You Are A Kid And You Are Out There And You Are Chubby And Not So Cute And Nerdy And Shy And Invisible And In Pain, Whatever Your Race, Whatever Your Gender, Whatever Your Sexual Orientation, I’m Standing Here To Tell You: You Are Not Alone. Your Tribe Of People, They Are Out There In The World. Waiting For You.
