"I guess I would suggest that people try to take better care of their bodies. I can feel myself aging, which sounds ridiculous at 24, but I could feel myself aging even at 19."
"If you make art, pay more attention to your emotional/creative milestones and less to your financial ones. I'm never gonna 'make it big,' whatever that means, but I'm gonna get better and better as a songwriter."
"Go for walks. Eat that cake in the middle of the night. Be kind towards others but mostly be kind to yourself. Use less plastic. Do everything with love, for what is done with love is well done."
“I think everyone should sway their hips every morning when they wake up. Especially if they’re often stressed out (or in the moment they are stressed out). Or if they feel very old when they wake up in the morning.”

“When Napster was a thing, I used it to collect these songs on my parent's computer. I played them loud and flung myself around the basement until dinner was ready. I can't claim to have been a part of a community that listened to this music in a group setting, so I guess thats what I want to do now…”
"Try to get a bag that’s only half full, or else you run the risk of eating the whole thing at once and feeling quite ill, like a bottle of wine without the fun."
