We do become our conversations. We really will become our associations.
I suppose meeting people whether it's in real life and actually shaking their flesh and blood hand or shaking the mystical hand of the character all rub off on you in some way.
I, like a lot of people who are creative, need to step away. I can't have stuff to write about if I don't have a life. If I talk to people, hang out with my friends and hang out with my husband, I feel like I have better things to bring to the table.
In general, I feel like when I've associated with someone, the association has elevated me and perhaps lowered the other person.
In general, indulgence for those we know is rarer than pity for those we know not.
How profoundly human nature and indeed human relations affect the outcome of events.
You make yourself strong because it's expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be.
It is difficult to imagine how any behavior in the presence of another person can avoid being a communication of one's own view of the nature of one's relationship with that person and how it can fail to influence that person.
Mother, sister, daughter, wife, cousins - they are a part of your everyday life. You interact with them, communicate, altercate and that they would have an influence on your everyday life is obvious.
