Why Not Me?

by Mindy Kaling

The result of my not caring so much about what I say allows me to care more about how I say it.

I’m really like. If my childhood, teens, and twenties were about wanting people to like me, now I want people to know me. So, this is a start.

If you believe in yourself and work hard, you have a fighting shot at having your dreams come true.

sometimes you like the idea of someone so much, you just want to do whatever it takes to make it work.

I want a guy who is a feminist, someone who knows that all that means is that men and women are equal.

I just don’t hate myself. I do idiotic things all the time and I say crazy stuff I regret, but I don’t let everything traumatize me.

Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled. Listen to no one except the two smartest and kindest adults you know, and that doesn’t always mean your parents. If you do that, you will be fine.
