From Coco Chanel

Tonight I pulled out an old journal my mom gave me because I decided I wanted to write in that old-fashion way of using a pencil and paper. Anyway, the journal is called “A Woman’s Notebook”. I’m sure I’ve never used it because of the huge, ugly flowers on the cover of it. However, each page has a thought-provoking quote by a woman in history, including some of my favorite authors and this from Coco Chanel:

“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something, but to be someone.”

I think this short quote captures the essence of simplicity and authenticity.
