“At times, listening to the heart rather than the mind gives birth to enchanting moments.”

Let the summer skies remind you that some days will be delightfully vibrant while others will be clouded with wisps of grey.

You may silence the mouth but never can you silence the eyes.

You can be both kind and considerate and know your worth at the same time.

Strength is crying, stumbling, falling, and yet finding the courage to get up and start yet again.

Cry it all out darling because sometimes what you need is a good cry.

Darling, you are a warrior, for even though each day feels like a battle, you keep fighting and live on.

When we struggle to find hope, sometimes hope finds us in the most unexpected moments and serendipitous ways.

Repentance and forgiveness both require courage and strength.

Growth is not a competition.

At times, a smile houses more sorrow than tears do.

Do not despair. The storm shall pass and the sun shall rise once more.

Choose peace over temporary pleasure.

Hang in there darling. The rain is necessary for the flower to fully grow.

Never let anyone mask their misbehavior towards you as authenticity.

How pleasant would it have been if our sorrows drowned themselves in our pellucid oceans of saline tears, beauty knows no limits.

Every album has its sad songs and happy songs.

Japan will change. Let’s create a country where innovation is constantly happening, giving birth to new industries to lead the world

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.

You have to be willing to allow the person you are today to die so that you can give birth to the person you are meant to become.

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.

No, you can’t deny women their basic rights and pretend it’s about your ‘religious freedom’. If you don’t like birth control, don’t use it. Religious freedom doesn’t mean you can force others to live by your own beliefs.

Right now, after giving birth, I really understand the power of my body. I just feel my body means something completely different.
