    “I want to be able to write about what’s happening right now, but I want just as badly not to jinx it, because what’s happening is, mostly, good. Terrifying, though! Maybe one of the things that’s terrifying is this sense that I have to choose between analyzing my experiences or just having them. The impulse to tell and tell and tell is, for now, gone, but that in and of itself scares me. And so I find myself (okay, I know, I know, sorry!) wondering: is it possible to care about someone else without giving up any part of yourself?”
