the still point of a turning world

bob: the more you know who you are, and what you want, the less things upset you.
charlotte: i just don’t know what i’m supposed to be, you know. i tried being a writer, but i hate what i write. i tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. you know, every girl goes through a photography phase. you know, horses… taking dumb pictures of your feet…
bob: you’ll figure that out. i’m not worried about you. keep writing.
charlotte: but i’m so mean.
bob: mean’s okay.
