After sharing quotes, news and random thoughts, I discuss the lyrics of a song that, in my public life, I would not admit I liked.

Intro

"Dear Artists, It takes more energy to avoid your destiny than to fulfill it."
“Girls are socialised in ways that are harmful to their sense of self - to reduce themselves, to cater to the egos of men, to think of their bodies as repositories of shame.” ~Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Calling a show a 'guilty pleasure' is like saying 'I'm embarrassed to say I watch it but I can't stop.' That's not a compliment.” ~Shonda Rhimes
