“Sometimes people try to destroy you, precisely because they recognize your power — not because they don’t see it, but because they see it and they don’t want it to exist.”

“One day it just clicks… You realise what is important and what isn’t, you learn to care less about what other people think of you and care more about what you think of yourself. You realise how far you have come and you remember thinking that things were such a mess they’d never recover and then you smile. You smile because you’re truly proud of the person you have fought to become.”

“Don’t wander away from yourself to get close to someone else.”

“You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else.”

“The woman you are becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. Choose her over everything.”

“Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes you courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.”

“I’m not afraid of my truth anymore, and I will not omit pieces of myself to make you more comfortable.”

“Speak your heart. If they don’t understand, the message was never meant for them anyway.”

“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”

“Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference.”
