Square illustration in layered shades of pink with scalloped, cloud like shapes radiating from the centre and small white dots scattered across the background. In the middle, handwritten black text reads: “Your life isn’t yours if you always care what others think.” The overall tone is bold, playful and direct, with a strong contrast between the dark lettering and the soft pink background.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” Steve Jobs

You don’t need everyone’s approval.
You don’t need to explain every choice.
You are allowed to live in a way that feels true to you.

Be kind to yourself.

A screenshot of WhatsApp:

Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question.
Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

I want to extend a huge thank you to our city's emergency responders and municipal workers who showed up in today’s storm to keep our city safe and running. These are the incredible New Yorkers who inspire me everyday.

Actually, it's exactly the duty of an artist. To take a stand through their art.
