A quick sketch from this evening. So important to remind myself of this every day!

“When we look back at the history of every other industry that got built in the 1920’s and 30’s we say,
‘We wish we were there then, because wow! Wouldn’t it have been cool what we could’ve done.’
This is even bigger than that, and most people are ignoring it, saying ‘Oh, there’s a recession!’
This is the best shot you’ve ever gotten.“

“…you don’t realize how amazing [New York] is until you leave. [New York] is so awesome and crazy and it’s the perfect place if you’re 21–25; you can go out dancing and then it’s 4am and you’re at some after-hours thing. But then you turn 28 and the kind of social life you’re interested in has less to do with 4am party nights and more to do with marathoning Breaking Bad and learning how to make fancy cocktails at home.”
Jessica Hische, in an interview with The Great Discontent
I would make people less afraid of things they don’t understand or identify with. So much of the hate and judgement in the world come from people being scared to learn more about people who are different.
Design*Sponge founder Grace Bonney’s response to the question, “If you could change one thing about the world what would it be?”
I never panic when I get lost. I just change where it is I want to go.

the path is not straight
Mom sent me a card yesterday with these words:
“ 1. the path is not straight
2. mistakes need not be fatal
2. mistakes need not be fatal

4. be gentle with your parents.
5. never stop doing what you care most about
6. learn to use a semi-colon
7. you will find love

Numbers one, three, and seven resonate the most at the moment. Which do you think makes the greatest advice?
WOULDN’T LIFE BE PERFECT
IF SWEATPANTS WERE SEXY,
MONDAYS WERE FUN, JUNK
FOOD DIDN’T MAKE YOU FAT,
GIRLS DIDN’T CAUSE SO
MUCH DRAMA, GUYS
WEREN’T SO CONFUSING,
AND GOODBYES ONLY
MEANT UNTIL TOMORROW…
