“there is nothing more powerful than realizing that your wholeness is not defined by anything but you. people may add onto the beautiful pieces that already exist within you, but nothing they do could ever complete you. the keys to your acceptance have always belonged to you.”

“I’ve found that growing up means being honest. About what I want. What I need. What I feel. Who I am.”

“Depression is a flaw in chemistry, not character.”

“Read widely…and sometimes while immersed in the multitude voices of others, you just might find your own.”

“I think you travel to search and you come back home to find yourself there.”

“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”
