Ciara, “Body Party (Remix)”

This is the place I’m in. I’ve always been so reserved and to myself or more private and kind of halfway about something when I speak about a relationship. In this day, in my life, I’m so comfortable in my skin. And I feel so good about where I am. And I’m very confident and comfortable with the way he loves me. So, I say that to say that, I’m only going to put in the universe positive things. I’m going to put [that] in the universe, it’s only going to get better and better and better.

Isn’t it sort of great when a celebrity answers a very public question about a very private matter and manages to gracefully string together relative gibberish coherently enough that at the end of the statement, you find yourself not only nodding along but also feeling like she’s said something substantial? That’s a skill. Keep putting positive into the universe, Ciara, and I’m just gonna keep listening to “Body Party.”
