“Trust yourself. You’ve survived a lot. And you’ll survive whatever is coming.”

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”

“You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.”

“I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception.”

“When you stop talking to people, stop talking about them too.”
