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.
Instruction, and advice, and commands will profit little, unless they are backed up by the pattern of your own life. Your children will never believe you are in earnest, and really wish them to obey you, so long as your actions contradict your counsel... Think not your children will practise what they do not see you do. You are their model picture, and they will copy what you are... will seldom learn habits which they see you despise, or walk in paths in which you do not walk yourself.
And now I also see what part of me is Chinese. It is so obvious. It is my family. It is in our blood.
Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fire blazes. No one ever thanked him.
I keep my family out of my public life because it can be an awful nuisance to them. What's my mother going to tell strangers anyway? That I was a cute baby and that she's terribly proud of me? Nuts. Who cares?
I love my mother, but there has been, ever since my boyhood, a sort of coldness of intercourse between us, such as is apt to come between people of strong feelings.
U can feed ur ego or u can feed ur family. U can’t feed them both.
