Real Talk

"People talk about changing your life like it’s some kind of great feat, when changing your life has always been the easiest way out of everything. The hard thing is staying where you are, when things get vague and abstract and difficult. When things get hard the easiest thing to do is move to L.A. The hardest thing to do is to stay in New York and try to write something, this. Not to walk out of a bar when you get in a fight with your friend about abortion. But instead, to decide to change the subject, because you won’t change your minds tonight, and then to stay and sit through the awkward part where you try to turn the conversation to something lighter even though both of you are harboring a secret fear that you’re a Republican, and then to realize ten minutes later that the conversation is easy again."
