Sometimes a little near death experience helps them put things into perspective.
One of the near-death experience truths is that each person integrates their near-death experience into their own pre-existing belief system.
People should be faced with losing everything a little bit more often because it really helps put a lot of things into perspective.
Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.
Sometimes a little bit of experience helps.
Especially being around young people, ... It helps put things in the proper perspective as you return back to the chaos of politics.
It's great having time to just sit back and work through things in my mind. It helps put life into perspective.
When I experience something, I believe it. I almost choked to death when I was a four year old and had a near death experience. I was very upset that I didn't die because it was a lot more interesting out of your body than in it.
I tried to put things in perspective but sometimes you're just too close to it.
I always try and find new things to think about and address. That really opens you up as a writer. I can write a lot of what I feel and it helps put it into clearer perspective.
You always hear that tragedies put sports in perspective, that they prove we shouldn't care this much about the successes and failures of a bunch of wealthy strangers. I'm going the other way - sometimes, sports put everything else in perspective.
Loneliness is a hard thing to handle. I feel it, sometimes. When I do, I want it to end. Sometimes, when you're near someone, when you touch them on some level that is deeper than the uselessly structured formality of casual civilized interaction, there's a sense of satisfaction in it. Or at least, there is for me. It doesn't have to be someone particularly nice. You don't have to like them. You don't even have to want to work with them. You might even want to punch them in the nose. Sometimes just making that connection is its own experience, its own reward.
People assume that death hanging over my head would allow me to put things into perspective, but that's not how it works.
When you go into mama-bear mode and have no choice but to just go with the flow, that's kind of when I realized...it put life into perspective. Just seeing my little girls and knowing I was going to experience life all over again - I'd be able to take them to the same things that my mom did - it was beautiful. When you become a mom, you gain this vulnerability that is so beautiful. Just the fact that I'm vulnerable but I'm never ashamed is so cool.
Writing helps me to create order out of chaos and make sense of things. It helps me to understand what I've experienced, what I've felt and seen, so it becomes a little easier to handle. On the other hand, I don't want it to be just a cathartic experience, an outpouring of grief or whatever it is.
I've had four near-death experiences - very, very near death experiences, and a few of them I've never spoken about publicly.
There are worse things than death. Many of them playing at a theater near you.
