Random quotes from the last few months

In going back over some emails and phone messages, I’ve gathered some interesting random quotes  by people I’ve sought counseling from since my mom died.  There isn’t really anything earth-shattering, but some are just interesting enough to make me go, “hmm…that’s right.”  Thought I’d share a few, without mentioning names.

“It’s amazing how charming truly nasty people can be when other people come around.”

“The haughtier someone is when they tell you an obvious lie, the less conscience they have about telling the lie.”

“You can’t hold behavior against someone right away after a death because grief might be controlling them.  A few months later if they’re still dicks, they probably just are.  I wouldn’t worry about it either way.”

“Watch out for irrational people.”

“You’re starting on a new life.  Don’t let anybody try to make you live theirs.”

“The truth always reveals itself eventually.  Wait for it.  Don’t get trapped in the meantime.”

“You’re going to find out new things about yourself.  Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t and don’t be afraid of it.  Consider it an adventure and anyone who wants off the ride is free to get off anytime.  The ones who really support and love you will be there at all the stops to laugh about your facial expressions.”
