27. There's Drama In The Queer Penguin Community
The Kiss | Boulders Beach, Cape Town
Sunday! Again!
Remember.
Optimism is a choice you make and a skill you develop. The mind is just as malleable as the body. We spend so much time and effort trying to change the external world, other people and our own bodies, while accepting that our minds just are the way they are. We accept the voice in our head as the source of all truth.
But all of it is malleable, and every day is new.
Here’s some inspo, art and a Milanese magazine you may have never heard of. Also, before we get started & incase you haven’t heard — Jane Fonda has a blog.

2. A Quote
Ask Yourself Honestly
“Ask yourself honestly: are you looking for a steady, predictable life? Is this what you want? If so, you must realize that the world cannot offer you this. Everything in the world is in the process of change. Nothing is steady. Nothing is predictable. Nothing will give you anything other than temporary security. Thoughts come and go. Relationships begin and end. Bodies are born and pass away. This is all the world can offer you: impermanence, growth, change.”
