8. Celebrate just about anything, often 
I love vibrant people who are always celebrating even the smallest of events, accomplishments and more. One might even suggest that celebrating failures and disappointments could be useful, too (they are life lessons, after all).

And I find this a very honest statement, about how you feel when you feel totally isolated and totally alone. And what’s really amazing and lovely in this, is Louise is having a conversation with herself. There’s two people here. There’s a very strong person that can deal with the emptiness and then there’s this other person that’s questioning it.

Louise did say to me “Do you have plenty of time?” But I think it’s about how I use it and how dedicated I am towards that time and how seriously I take it. We’ve only got one life, we’ve only got one thing.
