Happy Birthday Carrie Francis Fisher <3 (Oct 21, 1956)
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
“I heard someone say once that many of us only seem able to find heaven by backing away from hell. And while the place that I’ve arrived at in my life may not precisely be everyone’s idea of heavenly, I could swear sometimes–I hear angels sing.” - Carrie Fisher

“My panic is rising again. My sense of isolation and worthlessness. And no other senses worth mentioning apparently. It’s not nice being inside my head. It’s a nice place to visit but I don’t want to live here. It’s too crowded; too many traps and pitfalls. I’m tired of it. That same old person, day in and day out. I’d like to try something else. I tried to neaten my mind, file everything away into tidy little thoughts, but it only got more and more cluttered. My mind has a mind of its own. I try to define my limits by seeing just how far I can go, and I find that I passed them weeks ago. And I’ve got to find my way back.” - Carrie Fisher

My comfort wasn't the most important thing - my getting through to the other side of difficult feelings was. However long it might seem to take, and however unfair it might seem, it was my job to do it.
Happy Birthday Carrie Fisher! (October 21, 1956)

Nothing is ever really over... just over there
I did my best to come off as this kind of ironic, amused, disenchanted creature. An often chatty, even giddy gal with little to no sense of fashion.
