He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father.
Beyonce KnowlesRead
Being pregnant was very much like falling in love. You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you so, of course, you want to scream it out and tell everyone.
Interpretation
Pregnancy evokes immense joy and openness similar to the feelings experienced when falling in love.
In this quote, Beyoncé Knowles compares the profound experience of pregnancy to the sensations of falling in love. Both experiences are characterized by an overwhelming openness to emotions, joy, and a desire to share such transformative feelings with the world. The anticipation and excitement of nurturing a life inside oneself mirrors the euphoric state of love, where one feels compelled to express their happiness and share this intimate journey with others.
In practice
At a baby shower, I shared the quote to express the joy of expecting parents.
He will change diapers, of course he will. He is going to be a very hands-on father.
I just try to write songs that people are going to have a dialogue about.
Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder. I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself. When I'm not feeling my best I ask myself, 'What are you gonna do about it?' I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.
I fell in love with music by listening to R&B, & it's the core of who I am.
My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.
I wanted to sell a million records, and I sold a million records. I wanted to go platinum; I went platinum. I've been working nonstop since I was 15. I don't even know how to chill out.
Children surviving childhood is my obsessive theme and my life's concern.
By helping a woman, you help a family.
I'm serious when I do my work. I'm not serious when I'm home with my kids.
I conveniently forgot to remember that people only have two hands, or, as another parent once said of having a third child, it's time for a zone defense instead of man-to-man.
My immediate family was always very supportive. It was my own fear of the rest of the world not accepting me, the rest of our society not accepting my wish to be an actor.
I'm not the only one; most people's mothers are the most influential person in their life. But my mother survived the camps, and she was very strong. She made me strong, but she wanted me to be strong. That's more important.
