Maybe a good goal would be to just at least always try to create something good. Like something that is connected to love in some way. Like the [musical] equivalent of…you can make a decision to be kind. You can make a decision to greet people kindly and make jokes with people and connect. Joanna Newsom
About This Quote

There are so many people who are kind and who love others yet they do not have the experience of being loved in return. It can be very hard to have connection with other people, especially when you are young. However, the fact that you are being kind to others does not mean that other people will naturally want to connect with you. The problem is that you cannot force connection, only cultivate it.

You cannot choose to be kind but you can choose to make an effort to be kind every day. Think of the relationships in your life and think about what you can do differently to make them feel better. There are so many problems in the world, but if we all started choosing to connect with each other more often, we might finally begin to see some change.
