“I am more a hurricane than a gentle breeze some days. People bother me, annoy me with opinions that don’t make sense and that don’t add any balance to the world. I’m sick of everyone fighting, everyone waiting for their turn, instead of actual equality. I don’t feel like being kind, I don’t feel like being polite, I feel like screaming and cursing, moving the universe from sight. But then I am reminded of the littlest things in life, like the way bees make honey, and ants appear before rain, the way children say funny things, and how some musicians stay humble even after fame. I suppose even on the hurricane days, it’s better to stay kind, for anger and bitterness really have no balance of mind.”
