Always remember your kid's name.

If you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with without denigrating them or insulting them, then you may actually be heard.

I have a boyfriend who knows how to settle me. He puts his hand on my chest and tells me boring stories. On one of our first nights together I woke up apologizing for my snoring and he pulled out two earplugs he had worn to bed so he could hear what I was saying.

I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.

Don't think. Get out of your head. Stop planning and just go.

Looking silly can be ver powerful. People who are committing and taking risks become the king and queen of my prom. People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.

I like to do things that challenge me and make me nervous.
