“Often, the best stories aren't when someone pulls one 180-degree turn, but when someone pulls 180 one-degree turns: the stories when someone experiences a slow and, at times, indistinguishable evolution; the stories where a million tiny steps produce something so brilliant; the stories where perseverance and struggle go hand in hand.”

After all, blame is how we make sense of our lives. Blame fills in the gaps. In the absence of a true villain in our lives, we’re bound to enlist one. Sure, it may not be the best way, or fair, but it does help us explain our stories. Is that what I’m doing with my dad? Maybe.”
