I was dying to hear someone say That I didn’t need to try so hard to be perfect, That I was enough and it was okay

The most destructive thing I’ve ever done was believe someone else’s opinion of me.

It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.

Another woman’s beauty is not the absence of your own

Never lie to someone who trusts you and never trust someone who lies to you
