Helen Fielding quotes about
children personality culture
I am a child of Cosmopolitan culture, have been traumatized by supermodels and too many quizzes and know that neither my personality nor my body is up to it if left to its own devices. I can't take the pressure.

One minute you're closer to someone than anyone in the whole world, next minute they need only to say the words 'time apart', 'serious talk' or 'maybe you...' and you're never going to see them again and will have to spend the next six months having imaginary conversations in which they beg to come back, and bursting into tears at the sight of their toothbrush.

No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
how-you-feel be-good feels
You see, things being good has nothing to do with how you feel outside, it is all to do with how you are inside.

Valentine's Day purely commercial, cynical enterprise, anyway. Matter of supreme indifference to me.
