Many of us like to be liked. We like to be popular.

I think expressing one’s self is very important. But I also think the minute we feel the need to express ourselves simply because we can, rather than because we have something of value to say is how we abuse and overuse talking.

Anyway, ‘Merica!

But the truth is we wait for perfect moments because we don’t think that we are enough in the moments that we have.

And maybe we don’t do ourselves any favors by trying to hold onto what we think we know. Because what we think we know is also always changing too.

Humility is really hard. One of my greatest flaws is that I like to be right.

“Freedom is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. When you have no end and make freedom an ultimate goal, anything goes.”

We are always looking for the perfect time to pursue our dreams and tomorrow always seems like the perfect time.

Every time people come and visit me in Chicago, I am reminded how much the city actually has to offer.

It takes guts and confidence to put yourself out there in real life; real life has no “sign out” or “log out” button.

And to me, “best friend” insinuates that the friendship is some sort of competition and that the prize of winning is owning someone and being owned by someone.

Because I was born rich, I have known from an early age that the world is unequal and unfair.
