“He had a delightful sense of being young and free…but that long adolescent aloofness and consequent shyness still dictated to his conduct.” 

28 July 2012 Brunch for one with the next FSF winner — “The Beautiful and Damned.” Getting back into my [slightly emo-ish] solo groove lately. Digging it.

As Hemingway once said, ‘The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.’ Likewise, the best way to know if you are meant to be with someone is to be with him[/her].”

"Tumblr was built for creative people to create things, and for those more interested in sharing or discovering. It’s a system built for positive reinforcement: ‘Everybody loves everybody,’ David Karp (Tumblr Founder) concludes, ‘through the chain."

Stones in the sky never worry They don’t have to hurry, they move in their own way But I have to choose what to do. How to act, what to think, how to talk, what to say!

"I like to show people the city through my eyes, which are not realistic — they’re highly romanticized. New York has always been a great object of romantic fantasy for me."

24 December 2011. An “Uptown Girls” themed Christmas Eve dinner. Betts and I invade the Upper East Side for dinner at Philippe… and kicks. The whole week has felt like Christmas (and a really amazing one), so it’s unreal that Christmas has not yet officially arrived. Tonight at dinner, I’m once again on the receiving end of a thoughtful gift, card and, in this case, quote — all of which further affirms that I’ve got an incredible “team.”

“A true friend unbosoms freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably”  ~ William Penn

"Gratitude is a big ingredient for happiness…"

05 12 / 2011

"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."

― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
