Aundreta and a point from "The Point"

She would change "man" to "woman" before she said it aloud, but the idea fits her exactly. #bubblegumadventures #thankyouforthat


If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under a radiator.
--W. BERAN WOLFE

Although he survives for most people only through this quote, Walter Beran Wolfe was a real person, an Austrian-born American psychiatrist and student/translator of Alfred Adler. It comes from his masterpiece, How to Be Happy Though Human (1931), which was one of the first self-help bestsellers. Wolfe died in an accident at the age of thirty-five.
