It’s pathetic I haven’t updated. I know. And this post is a lazy one, I’m too busy to come up with my own words, so I thought I would just share with you those of others.
Madonna is amazing. She’s one of my idols, not for her music or style, but for her mantras and mindset. I think she proves that you can be yourself and still be taken seriously and beloved. She’s a badass and she does what she pleases. And guess what? It works really, really, really well for her. Conformity is boring, but for the most part I would say it will get you where you want to go in life and you will face little resistance. But I think if you do as you truly want, you’ll get farther than you ever thought possible. Hell it works for Madonna. I think if every woman had her mentality there would be a lot more successes and less insecurities. The first quote has been one of my favorites since middle school.
"I'm tough, ambitious and know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, then OK."
"To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give in. That takes courage; because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt."
"A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That's why they don't get what they want."
"I have the same goal I've had ever since I was a girl. I want to rule the world."
"Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done."
"To me, the whole process of being a brush stroke in someone else's painting is a little difficult."
"I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams."
"When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it."
"That we are responsible for our own fate, we reap what we sow, we get what we give, we pull in what we put out. I know these things for sure."
"I am my own experiment. I am my own work of art."
"Because I've taken off my clothes don't mean that I've revealed every inch of my soul."
"I hate polite conversation. I hate it when people stand around and go, "Hi, how are you?" I hate words that don't have any reason or meaning. Also I hate it when people smoke in elevators and closed places. It's just so rude."
"You have to be patient. I'm not."
"I'm not a feminist, I'm a humanist."
"I don't care anymore if people dress like me, now I want them to think like me."
"I think passive beauties have their place in the world. It's hard for me to relate to that."
John Mayer is a jerk. But he's a brilliant guitarist and an amazing song-writer. He's one of those musicians that pays attention to details, whose lyrics actually tell a story in addition to creating a great song. And for all of the obnoxious comments he's made in the media, he has actually said some pretty insightful things. In fact it is this first quote that sparked this whole post. I found it saved somewhere in the files of my computer. He says this so perfectly. Through a metaphor about crayons. Genius.
"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"
"I'd like to think the best of me was still hiding up in my sleeve. "
"Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you'd bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I'd be the talk of the day."
So what, so I've got a smile on. But it's hiding the superstitions in my head."
"I can't wait to figure out what is wrong with me, so I can say this is the way I used to be."
"Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see her again."
"I'm having the time of my life figuring out this next move."
