« I believe that the more I look into this strange being, myself, the more routes I will find to happiness. »

« Things will get better with time. Or no, everything is dynamic, which means life will have jump-for-joy moments as well as bad ones, going back and forth like the tide. If I'm sad today I'll be happy tomorrow, and if I'm happy today I'll be sad tomorrow - that's fine. As long as I keep loving myself. »

« Many people think they're the foremost authority on themselves, but you should be more sceptical. You've got to ask yourself, 'Do I really know myself well?' Isn't it really like touching an elephant's leg in the dark and thinking it's a tree trunk? »

« Does pushing myself into extreme emotions make me happy? What do I get from objectifying myself and applying impossible standards to everything about myself? Sometimes I need to rationalise to protect myself. »

« The whole point of not liking your friend's behaviour means you don't like her behaviour, not your friend as a person. But right now, you keep interpreting every behaviour exhibited by your friend as rejection. »

« But there isn't anything you can really do about it right now. Why not focus on the moment? This anxiety about losing something seems to happen whenever anything comes into your possession. »

« What matters isn't what people say but what you like and find joy in. I hope you focus less on how you look to other people and more on fulfilling your true desires. »

« You put a lot of stock in what other people think. It's because your satisfaction with yourself is so low. But your life is your life, your body is your body - and you have responsibility over it. »
