Maybe your childhood was grim and horrible, but grim and horrible is Okay if it is well done. Don't worry about doing it well yet, though. Just get it down.

Flannery O'Connor

As soon as one knows one is going to die, childhood is over.... So one can be grown up at seven.

Desires and anxieties are there, preventing you from having access to the essential truth.
