161 " I can't wait to find out who I will be when next Thanksgiving rolls around. "
― Shonda Rhimes , Year of Yes
162 " I have spent years having a totally fulfilling, completely awesome friendship with a person who is only a stand-in for a figment of my imagination. "
163 " Comecei a pensar que somos como espelhos. O que você é se reflete de volta para você. O que vê em si mesmo, pode ver nos outros, e o que os outros veem em você. podem ver em si mesmos. "
164 " We could all use a little more love. A lot more love. I am not a naturally optimistic person. I’m too in my own head to be a constant source of cheer. I have to work at happy. Dark and twisty is where my brain likes to settle. So I can use some reminders of what is good and optimistic and glass-half-full about this world. And nothing does that for me like the faces and souls of my tiny humans. "
165 " She has learned to not let go of thepieces of herself that she needs in order to be what someone else wants. She’s learned not tocompromise. She’s learned not to settle. She’s learned, as difficult as it is, how to be her own sun. "
166 " Pessoas felizes e completas são atraídas para pessoas felizes e completas, mas nada torna uma pessoa tóxica mais miserável e destrutiva do que uma pessoa feliz e completa. Pessoas infelizes não gostam quando um colega infeliz se torna feliz. "
167 " She has learned to not let go of the pieces of herself that she needs in order to be what someone else wants. She’s learned not to compromise. She’s learned not to settle. She’s learned, as difficult as it is, how to be her own sun. "
168 " That never would have happened if I hadn’t stopped dreaming of becoming her and gotten busy becoming myself. "
169 " Volunteer some hours. Focus on something outside yourself. Devote a slice of your energies toward making the world suck less every week. Some people suggest that doing this will increase your sense of well-being. Some say it’s just good karma. I say that it will allow you to remember that, whether you are a legacy or the first in your family to go to college, the air you are breathing right now is rare air. Appreciate it. And don’t be an asshole. "
170 " Acho que muita gente sonha. E, enquanto estão ocupadas sonhando, as pessoas felizes de verdade, as pessoas bem-sucedidas de verdade, as pessoas realmente interessantes, poderosas, engajadas estão ocupadas, fazendo. "
171 " I am smart, I am talented, I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way and I work really, really hard. Don’t call me lucky. Call me a badass. "
172 " You are not alone. You are seen. I am with you. You are not alone. "
173 " Sonhos são lindos. Mas são apenas sonhos. Passageiros. Efêmeros. Lindos. Mas sonhos não se realizam apenas porque você os sonha. É o trabalho árduo que faz as coisas acontecerem. É o trabalho árduo que cria a mudança. "
174 " I am on my own mountain standing in my own sun. "
175 " Tell her how much all the little things she does all year long that seem to go unnoticed really mean to you.” With a $2.59 card. Mother’s Day is built on that idea. "
176 " Leave no mom behind, soldiers. And even with help . . . I’m still in the trenches. Nobody has this thing figured out. "
177 " Hashtags são muito lindas no Twitter (...) mas uma hashtag não é um movimento. Uma hashtag não faz de você o Dr. King. Uma hashtag não muda nada. É uma hashtag. É você, com a bunda na cadeira, digitando no computador e voltando para assistir a seu programa preferido à exaustão. "
178 " Finally I want to say this: If you are a kid and you are out there and you are chubby and not so cute and nerdy and shy and invisible and in pain, whatever your race, whatever your gender, whatever your sexual orientation, I’m standing here to tell you: you are not alone. "
179 " But being a mother is also a job, Shonda.” I can hear someone reading this book saying those words right now. You know what I say to that? NO. IT IS NOT. Being a mother is not a job. Stop throwing things at me. I’m sorry but it is not. I find it offensive to motherhood to call being a mother a job. Being a mother isn’t a job. It’s who someone is. It’s who I am. You can quit a job. I can’t quit being a mother. I’m a mother forever. Mothers are never off the clock, mothers are never on vacation. Being a mother redefines us, reinvents us, destroys and rebuilds us. Being a mother brings us face-to-face with ourselves as children, with our mothers as human beings, with our darkest fears of who we really are. Being a mother requires us to get it together or risk messing up another person forever. Being a mother yanks our hearts out of our bodies and attaches them to our tiny humans and sends them out into the world, forever hostages. "
180 " Essa sou eu. Silêncio. Quietude. Interiorização. Mais à vontade com livros do que com novas situações. Feliz por morar dentro de minha imaginação. Eu moro em minha mente desde criança. "
