Talk more, worry less: a timely message for our anxious age…
"We have to face the fact that either all of us are going to die together or we are going to learn to live together and if we are to live together we have to talk."
And,
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."

We are social creatures, so it's natural to consider others. However, sometimes I let others' assumed opinions of me dictate my life. This post serves as a reminder to get out of my head and stop trying to think about what others are thinking about all the time.
