o i was all welled up by the end of this!

elizabeth gilbert, author of eat, pray, love, on creative genius and how we ruin it



i think i might have to read this woman's book now. even though her experiences inspired the film coyote ugly. damn.

also on a similar theme, an excerpt from the prologue of dorris lessing's the golden notebook.

this is a theme i've been thinking about a lot of late and it's nice to see it come up around me. it's nice validation that. thank you mr. universe!
