“Self-love is the greatest act of grace. Remember. You are beautiful. You are amazing. You are wonderful. You are flawed. You are you. You are enough.”

Learning From Trees
“There is a lot to learn from trees: their graceful free spirit when they fluidly sway in the breeze, their munificence when they open-heartedly give us shade and sustenance, their dauntlessness in the wildest and most tumultuous of storms, their endurance during a scathing drought and, in particular, their forbearance when we go about destroying them without a second thought.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVIII
A Motto To Adhere To
“Why be plain vanilla when you can be a phenomenally explosive cocktail of maple syrup and vodka?”

Stay Humane
“Feed a hungry mouth. Clothe a miserable body. Educate a poor being. Reach out to a depressed soul. Rescue an animal. Help as much as you can. Touch as many hearts as you go. Selflessly. Without expectations. The one and only approach for a human to live with stalwart dignity is by staying humane.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVI
Ingenuity
“Raw ingenuity is very often misconstrued as madness by the crowd. Take no shit. Carry on.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVI
Dance
“I want you to dance – anytime, anywhere, to any beat. Just forget everything and dance.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVI
Friendship
“Choose your inner circle of friends wisely because stupidity is known to have an intractable contagion effect.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVI
Solitude
“There are two types of solitude–one that pulls you into darkness and another one that pushes you towards light. While the former drowns a person in the tangled inferno of harrowing isolation, bottomless depression and lugubrious despondency; the latter transforms him to a fireball of energy when he is fully connected to his own being, thereby allowing the individual to get a glimpse of quintessential empyrean.”
-The Little Mermaid, MMXVI
Mother-Daughter Relationship
“The exceptional bond between a daughter and a mother is beyond compare. During her tender years, the little girl is just a daughter to her mother. Then, they become best friends. Ultimately, as the mother eases into dotage, the role is reversed with the daughter assuming a maternal figure for the former.”
