We are all just little dolls of ourselves. Who occasionally pull back the curtains to reveal the real us.
From Bruce Eric Kaplan
When I was a kid, and I was watching TV, I just loved it so much that I wanted to crawl into that TV.
It's self-soothing for me to draw. So if I'm upset, drawing makes me less upset.
As an adult, it's hard for me to remember my mother before her sickness. But if I go back into childhood, I can access that.
It's not like during your normal day, anyone says, 'How do having meaning in your life? How do you make meaning in your life?'
When I was a kid, I would be watching TV shows like, you know, like 'Get Smart' and be like, 'That's what being an adult is.'
Of course I loved 'I Love Lucy' and saw every episode over and over again. I found it heartbreaking that Ricky got to be famous and have an exciting life at the Tropicana while Lucy was stuck in that terrible apartment with the Mertzes.
We only got clothing once a year, like, right before school began. It's like, that's when you got your clothing.
What I like about graduation speeches is that they're an opportunity for someone to make sense of their life and to impart that wisdom to someone else. It's like a sanctioned self-help moment.
I can't get enough of self-help books of all kinds.
