I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my own ship.
You are not a mess. You are a feeling person in a messy world.
The braver we are, the luckier we get.
You are here to decide if your life, relationships, and world are true and beautiful enough for you.
You can be anything. You can be everything. Do not let anyone tell you who you are.
It's not your job to be small so that others can feel big.
You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.
The only way to gain self-confidence is to do the thing you fear.
You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street.
Do it because you want to, because it feels right for you, because the power of your love feels right for you.
Anger is just a story that you tell yourself about an event.
The opposite of sensitive is not brave. It's not brave to refuse to pay attention, to refuse to notice, to refuse to feel and know and imagine.
