Me: “I need some serotonin.”
Husband: Stands up.
Husband: Sits back down.
Hisband: “I didn’t remember what serotonin was until after I stood up so I was deadass about to go get you some.”
Hes a little confused, but hes got the spirit

“I tell you this not as aimless revelation but because I want you to know, as you read me, precisely who I am and where I am and what is on my mind. I want you to understand exactly what you are getting: you are getting a woman who for some time now has felt radically separated from most of the ideas that seem to interest people. You are getting a woman who somewhere along the line misplaced whatever slight faith she ever had in the social contract, in the meliorative principle, in the whole grand pattern of human endeavor.” ______________________ “Voglio che capiate esattamente chi vi trovate di fronte: vi trovate di fronte a una donna che ormai da qualche tempo si sente radicalmente distaccata dalla maggior parte delle idee che sembrano interessare agli altri. Vi trovate di fronte a una donna che lungo il percorso ha smarrito qualunque barlume di fiducia abbia mai avuto nel contratto sociale, nel principio di miglioramento, in tutto il grandioso sistema dell’impresa umana.”
Joan Didion
