Emma Watson hired a private investigator in 2016. Not to expose someone. Not for security. To find a homeless woman who once gave her a copy of “Mom & Me & Mom” by Maya Angelou一 just to thank her in person, with no cameras no press, no PR team. She hid books across London subway stations with handwritten notes for strangers to find. Paused red carpet interviews mid-sentence to talk about education and inequality. At 25, she stood before the UN and launched HeForShe - a global campaign for gender equality. “If not me, who? If not now, when?” A Brown University graduate who reads 100+ books a year. Worth $80M+- and still rides public transport. Still shows up quietly. Still does good when no one's watching. Fame didn't change her. She changed what fame looks like.
i’m so grateful for the times when i’m included, like when someone saves me a seat, invites me even if i can’t go, or asks me to join a group photo. these simple gestures mean a lot to me. it’s the little things that matter most. they don’t cost anything but mean everything
Having a boyfriend means having someone you can tell the most useless details about your day to. It’s not like I expect him to do anything about the fact that the Uber driver is driving slow but babe, just listen…..proceeds to yap
my father always told me: “if you want to go for a run, go for a run, don’t look for company. sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves.” and only recently have i realized that this principle works everywhere.
