Greetings from Madison, WI where the most recent season of Top Chef spent some time.

Your sentiment resonated with me. I have run far too many (closing in on 30) marathons and have long said "if you don't finish, no one will listen to your story." Your story title seems more about longevity and patience where mine is about holding someone's attention. There may be room for both.

Thank you for great writing, and—now—a new motto. I'm not going to have it tattooed on my forehead or anything, maybe an index card over the desk. But I love this: "Stick around long enough to tell your story." (Okay, maybe the forehead.)

If you like Clarice Lispector you should definetly take a look at the "Sentir um pensamento" agenda. It brings weekly reflections for journaling based on her books!
