Nostalgia is gratitude with a lump in its throat.

What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?

Half my maturity comes from growth.

The other half comes from resisting the urge to say what everybody else is thinking.

If your uniqueness depends on nobody else doing it, was it ever yours to begin with?

People will question a quiet face before they question a fake one.

A lot of adults mistake enthusiasm for wellness.

It’s funny how nobody asks the loudest person in the room if they’re okay.

The way some people panic around a resting face needs to be studied.

You can’t keep withdrawing from people and act surprised when the account closes.

Let’s be real. A pharmacy closing doesn’t sound like a big deal until you’re 76 years old, recovering from a lung transplant, and the only place you could walk to just shut its doors for good.

That happened in Chatham today. And it’s not the first time the South Side has watched a Walgreens pack up and leave. Bronzeville. South Shore. South Chicago. Now Chatham. One alderman showed up today and said enough. His plan would put city-run pharmacies in all 77 Chicago neighborhoods.

Is the city ready to act?
