“Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having 'too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”

“Let your smile change the world, but never let the world change your smile.”

“First we feel. Then we fall.”

“The hardest things for human being to do is to know themselves and to change themselves.”

“The only way to have a friend is to be one.”

“You see, you may be damaged and broken and unhinged. But so are shooting stars and comets.”

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

“Choosing to be kind is not choosing to be passive. It’s choosing to end the cycle of abuse.”

“You’re so calm and quiet, you never say. But there are things inside you. I see them sometimes, hiding in your eyes.”
