GIRLS TO THE FRONT

“Do not lose hope. Please believe there are a thousand beautiful things waiting for you.”

“We all have one foot in a fairytale, and the other in the abyss.”

“I’m not afraid of dying. Pieces of me die all the time.”

“Sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don’t know why we are sad, so we say we aren’t sad but we really are.”

The reason it is hard to love yourself is because you cannot walk away from yourself. You have to sit within your skin through every painful emotion, every second of disgust and still find pieces of yourself to love through the wreckage. This is why loving yourself is an act of revolution. It is telling yourself you deserve love even in the places you do not think are worthy of love.
