“Your destiny isn’t determined by the number of times you stumbled or made wrong turns. Your destiny is not determined by how many times you failed. Instead, your destiny is determined by how many times you rose up, dusted yourself off, and moved forward in your life. Despite your uncertainties. Despite your hardships. Despite your losses, grief, and disappointments.”

“Your devices are very powerful in their ability to help you create, but they can also become sources of distraction and wasted time. During your creative time, turn off notifications and close apps and windows that are not essential to your creative work. Advertisers and other companies want you to pay attention to their creative ideas — instead, cultivate the ability to resist them and redirect your attention to monotasking your creative ideas.”

“Your difficulties will benefit you when you accept the responsibility to overcome them. Success begins when you stop looking for someone to blame and start thinking about a solution. Be interested in solving problems, not blaming others. Don’t think you’ve lost control of your life, and don’t blame the world for what it is. Such worries are unproductive and often make the situation worse. Blaming others might help if you could reverse time, but you can’t. Right now, you can take action or just wait for life to improve. But there will never be a way forward that isn’t your responsibility. Your challenges are yours. They can become your greatest assets if you accept them and work to beat them. Never waste time blaming other people for their faults or for the problems in the world. Understand that what truly matters in life is what is under your control. You may find fault in others and in yourself, but instead of spreading criticism or blame, act to eliminate the problem.”

“Your digestive system is your body's Fun House, whereby food goes on a long, dark, scary ride, taking all kinds of unexpected twists and turns, being attacked by vicious secretions along the way, and not knowing until the last minute whether it will be turned into a useful body part or ejected into the Dark Hole by Mister Sphincter.”

“Your digestive system's just upset after all that heavy food. It's nothing to worry about. I made you some soup that's great for indigestion. Fingers crossed you'll like it.' Saying this, Reiko took out a thermos flask from her tote bag and poured a cupful of the cloudy white liquid into its lid. Rika made out the tingle of ginger on her taste buds, and her throat immediately grew hot. The soup of scallions, daikon and goji berries slipped down smoothly into her stomach. With almost no salt and only the sweetness of its ingredients, its taste was subtle, yet full and rounded nonetheless, and impossible to imagine tiring of. Her stomach made a noise like a small creature mewling, and the two women locked eyes and laughed.”

“Your dignity can be mocked, abused, compromised, toyed with, lowered and even badmouthed, but it can never be taken from you. You have the power today to reset your boundaries, restore your image, start fresh with renewed values and rebuild what has happened to you in the past.”

“Your dignity will never know cages and days without showering. Will never know the shame of running from a place because you weren't born disposable. If you feel threatened about living in a country full of sleek, dark, and beautiful creatures arriving on boats smiling and glowing though nobody has welcomed them, stop watching the news. Stay safe, with truths that bloom from kindness.”
