I enjoy making things that are different. It makes for a better career.
Babies have the power to make grumpy people happy because they love you no matter what. Dogs are that way, too.
…there is rarely any rhyme or reason in suicides. They can be a cry for help gone wrong, or a punishment to those you’re leaving behind, or one fateful twenty-minute window when you lose your bearings and can’t find the reasons to go on.
Those that have lost their lives to suicide were good people, who were in deep, deep pain. Keep speaking about mental illness and keep it out of the darkness.
Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.
