We remember what it was like to meet someone new. we remember what it was like to grant someone possibility. you look out from your own world and then you step into his, not really knowing what you’ll find there, but hoping it will be something good. both ryan and avery are doing this. you step into his world and you don’t even realize your loneliness is missing. you’ve left it behind, and you don’t notice because you have no desire to turn back.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

I believe that ryan murphy is a genius. his instincts remind me of andy warhol. i recently went to the warhol museum in pittsburgh, and you can see a lot of echoes of andy in ryan’s work. like andy, ryan’s finger is so on the pulse of culture that he’s ahead of culture. their aesthetic and their vision of the world are very similar.
