“There’s something magical about kindness. It’s an element we no longer expect in our day-to-day interactions, but it’s something we long for. The thing about exclusivity is that it’s really, really lonely. It seems cool to be the girl in the sunglasses, the guy who never picks up his phone, but there’s a lot of hidden alone time in there. There’s a lot of isolation. Being inclusive doesn’t mean oversharing — it means making people feel welcome. It means building an identity upon letting people in. And redefining who you want to be by who you want to be with.”
