"I want you to trust yourself, baby. Love is all that matters and you’ve always known that. You’ve known, since you were a very little girl, what your life is meant to be about…"
"I never want you to deny anything about yourself because you have grown up thinking it’s unacceptable or inconvenient for the people around you."
"I feel a resurgence of my 6-year-old self… that little warrior, goddess of a girl reminding me of who I was when I was little, before the world got its hands on me."
"I can do this… I can start over. I can save my own life and I’m never going to be alone as long as I have stars to wish on and people to still love."
"Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back."
"For so many years, I couldn’t understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, like… for real, they would eventually turn to vapor. Every person whom I’ve ever loved is trapped inside of my chest. I’ve breathed all of them in so deeply that I’ve nearly choked and died on every soul that I’ve ever given myself to."
