“I keep waiting for some great life purpose to rise up in front of me and declare itself, but I don’t seem to be wired for greatness.”

Whisper Me This
“A familiar web of worry and indecision grounds me in my accustomed reality.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“Whisper me this, my darling, my love The song of the moonlight, of stars up above. Whisper me truth, love, and whisper me lies, Warm days of winter, cold summer skies. Whisper me anger, whisper me rain, Whisper me flowers, then whisper me pain. When I come to die, love, then whisper me this The shape of a memory, the truth of a kiss. Whisper me, whisper me, whisper” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“My mother is present in every room of the house. She’s always in my head. Her grave is the last place in the world I feel close to her. But today is about some kind of symbolic gesture,” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“Avoiding talking about things is much more dangerous than having conversations.” ― Kerry Anne King, Everything You Are
“I’m a bit psychic.” She glances up at him, measuring the impact of her words, then returns her gaze to the fire. “It left me wide open to people’s emotions when I was younger. I didn’t know how to shield myself. I didn’t believe what I’m telling you now, that people have to carry their own burdens, that they’re responsible for their own emotional journeys. I sank under the weight of it all. And so I started drinking.” ― Kerry Anne King, Everything You Are
“It’s funny how life spins, how we go on for long stretches of time and nothing changes, and then all at once, in a single moment, everything is altered.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“His anger is not my fault. I am not responsible for his behavior, then or now.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“But I am not brave, and I have never been strong enough to carry the weight of my mother’s ambitions and expectations, to bear the brunt of her obsessive love.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“I was confused” ― Kerry Anne King, Closer Home
“The number one thing I would tell you is this. You can’t fix people. You can’t change people. So the trick, if there is one, is to differentiate. Your emotion. Their emotion. Your responsibility. Their responsibility. Oh, you can offer your friendship, your support, even your help. But what somebody does with that is entirely up to them.” “That’s” ― Kerry Anne King, I Wish You Happy
“Whisper me this, my darling, my love The song of the moonlight, of stars up above Whisper me truth, love, and whisper me lies Warm days of winter, cold summer skies Whisper me anger, whisper me rain Whisper me flowers, then whisper me pain When I come to die, love, then whisper me this The shape of a memory, the truth of a kiss.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This

Whisper me, whisper me, whisper me this A lifetime of memories, and one final kiss.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“I think you need to trust that people are strong enough to carry the truth.” ― Kerry Anne King, Every Thing You Are
“And still, through all this overwhelming grief and fear and loss, my anger is an ever-present demon. It tangles itself in all the other emotions, stealing the sweetness from my love, poisoning my fear. I watch from the doorway, until finally everything stops.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This

“My mother used to say that parenting classes should be mandatory before people were allowed to reproduce. She didn’t mean this to apply to herself, of course, but to the ignorant hordes whose children run wild in Walmart, pillaging candy bars and throwing tantrums. At this moment, I’m thinking there should be a mandatory university degree, which includes not only psychology but also existential philosophy.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“me this A lifetime of memories, and one final kiss.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
“We need food and shelter first, before we need anything else, because without those things we will die. Then we need people to love. Once we have people to love, then we can learn to love ourselves and start working toward the things we are good at, the things that make us happy.” ― Kerry Anne King, Whisper Me This
