Freja Beha Erichsen: The "Float" one means the world to me. You know, I believe in all that. Floating through life; thinking beautiful thoughts, not sinking inside stress. If you had to carry every person's stress that is laid up on you, you would die. It's impossible to just let literally everyone and anything affect you. So you have to try to remain calm even if people around you are stressing, yelling, wasting their peace of mind. Float; it is the best way of resisting.
