Anyone Who Has Ever Been Able To Sustain Good Work Has Had At Least One Person--and Often Many--who Have Believed In Him Or Her. We Just Don't Get To Be Competent Human Beings Without A Lot Of Different Investments From Others.

Part Of The Problem With The Word 'disabilities' Is That It Immediately Suggests An Inability To See Or Hear Or Walk Or Do Other Things That Many Of Us Take For Granted. But What Of People Who Can't Feel? Or Talk About Their Feelings? Or Manage Their Feelings In Constructive Ways? What Of People Who Aren't Able To Form Close And Strong Relationships? And People Who Cannot Find Fulfillment In Their Lives, Or Those Who Have Lost Hope, Who Live In Disappointment And Bitterness And Find In Life No Joy, No Love? These, It Seems To Me, Are The Real Disabilities.

Whatever We Choose To Imagine Can Be As Private As We Want It To Be. Nobody Knows What You're Thinking Or Feeling Unless You Share It.
