“Something happened, nothing happened, something happened, something could not happen, something is going to happen, nothing is going to happen, but what is happening is healing you, even if someday you are not able to heal. Keep calm, go in front of the mirror and see yourself smiling, even if you shed tears, it will be fine, you will be healed in a moment by both these behaviors, this is what I want and those who are with me also want this, be careless. Celebrate it and put your life in that moment, then whenever you look back, that celebration, that laughter, that scene will refresh your today!! Take care of yourself and those who are with you, even if there is distance or closeness, just take care, even if they don't speak, even if they don't express, but your one thought will be enough, everything will be fine, so that's all I had to say. Be happy ♡”

And so, for a whole bunch of reasons, women tend to fall out in their 30s still today.”

“Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Mary — the whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there's a tiny thing at the edge of the rudder called a trimtab.
It's a miniature rudder. Just moving the little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. Takes almost no effort at all. So I said that the little individual can be a trimtab. Society thinks it's going right by you, that it's left you altogether. But if you're doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole big ship of state is going to go.
So I said, call me Trimtab.”

“something i can trust…
if i'm being honest… my relationship with trust is a distant one, and my trust in the universe is a timid thing because life has felt bigger, and this path has felt harder at times than i've been able to take.
and i'm still trying to believe that i am growing wings
that were measured just for me, that are right-sized just. for. this. strong enough to lift me through it and beautiful enough to make it all worth it. but this distance with trust has made me feel anything but sure… and i guess trust is a muscle memory i just don't yet have.
but i want to.
so when the light seems quiet, and the guidance feels hushed, i'm going to lean in. because maybe it's gone quiet to get me to lean in… just so i can learn that when the voice inside has something to say… that it's something i can trust.”
“Something I constantly notice is that unembarrassed joy has become rarer. Joy today is increasingly saddled with moral and ideological burdens, so to speak. When someone rejoices, he is afraid of offending against solidarity with the many people who suffer. I don't have any right to rejoice, people think, in a world where there is so much misery, so much injustice.
I can understand that. There is a moral attitude at work here. But this attitude is nonetheless wrong. The loss of joy does not make the world better - and, conversely, refusing joy for the sake of suffering does not help those who suffer. The contrary is true. The world needs people who discover the good, who rejoice in it and thereby derive the impetus and courage to do good. Joy, then, does not break with solidarity. When it is the right kind of joy, when it is not egotistic, when it comes from the perception of the good, then it wants to communicate itself, and it gets passed on. In this connection, it always strikes me that in the poor neighborhoods of, say, South America, one sees many more laughing happy people than among us. Obviously, despite all their misery, they still have the perception of the good to which they cling and in which they can find encouragement and strength.
In this sense we have a new need for that primordial trust which ultimately only faith can give. That the world is basically good, that God is there and is good. That it is good to live and to be a human being. This results, then, in the courage to rejoice, which in turn becomes commitment to making sure that other people, too, can rejoice and receive good news.”
“Something I didn't even know was on my bucket list has been achieved. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner with Martha Stewart.

“Something I do love about social media is how you can expand your idea. You can make an extension of your art as opposed to just using it for promotion.”
“Something I don't like seeing in other people is naked ambition, when somebody is really pushing hard to get to where they want to be. That's the way I look at that word - like you must be stepping on someone to get there. And I've never been comfortable with that.”
