You Can't Tell Stories And Really Walk

Nobody Ever Asks A Man How He Gets Stuff Done. Nobody Asks A Man How He Finds Balance.

I Read A Lot Of Studies About The Fact That There Is A Bias In The Way Health Care Is Doled Out, Down To The Fact That Most Medical Studies Are Done On Men, Not Women, So Most Dosages Are Planned For Men, Not Women, And On And On. And More Than That, Women's Pain Is Gauged Differently And Their Complaints Are Received Differently. And The Idea That There's A Place Where You Can Go Where Everything Is Geared Toward You, As A Woman, Is Great. But It's A Shame That We Need To Find Places That Are "safe" When The World, The Whole World, Should Be A Safe Place.

Mother Is Not A Title. Mother Is A Verb. It Is Not Who You Are. It's What You Do.

I Want My Daughters To See Me And Know Me As A Woman Who Works. I Want That Example Set For Them... I Am A Better Mother For It. The Woman I Am Because I Get To Run Shondaland, Because I Get Write All Day, Because I Get To Spend My Days Making Things Up, That Woman Is A Better Person - And A Better Mother. Because That Woman Is Happy. That Woman Is Fulfilled. That Woman Is Whole. I Wouldn't Want Them To Know The Me Who Didn't Get To Do This All Day Long. I Wouldn't Want Them To Know The Me Who Wasn't Doing.

There's A Reason I Said I'd Be Happy Alone. It Wasn't 'cause I Thought I'd Be Happy Alone. It Was Because I Thought If I Loved Someone And Then It Fell Apart, I Might Not Make It. It's Easier To Be Alone. Because What If You Learn That You Need Love And Then You Don't Have It? What If You Like It And Lean On It? What If If You Shape Your Life Around It And Then It Falls Apart? Can You Even Survive That Kind Of Pain? Losing Love Is Like Organ Damage. It's Like Dying. The Only Difference Is Death Ends. This, It Could Go On Forever.
