When you have a big life change, it takes a long time to get used to either the new format or the understanding that you need to create a new dream. Or if things didn't work out, mourning the death of that dream. It's hard, because that's a very private journey.

The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.

When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That's when I feel beautiful.

From my perspective, there's no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you're lucky! The alternative is death.

I aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.

Sometimes you come to a point where there's nothing more you can do. You love and respect each other, but it's not working. So you amicably decide to part. I don't know what the future holds: a lot of people get back together after they break up.

Get yourself out. Be brave. Don't leave before you're ready, because you should know that you tried everything. So there's a conviction and a confidence when you step away from something that may or may not be conducive to your life. I think if you run away too quickly, you're going to have that "Oh God, did I try everything?" feeling. Try everything. Make it work. Do everything you can. If it's not working, then know when the signal is and move on. Change. Try something different.
