whenever you tell someone at a party you’re a journalist and they clamor to clarify that they’re “off the record” it’s like. you just told me a story about your cat throwing up after eating funfetti cake batter. should we call the new york times? should we invite bella hadid ?

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything — what a waste!”

The secret to life is to stay curious. Learn a new skill, get into Russian literature, start gardening, cultivate a niche interest. We live in a beautiful and fascinating world; do not let routine and problems and to-do lists destroy your sense of wonder.
