“Let them throw stones. When they’re finished, you can build a memorial from all that rubble. An homage to the haters. Better yet, build a castle. Tattoo the walls with everything beautiful about yourself that you fail to acknowledge.”

“I’ve never had the audacity to wait for a heart before now, but you said sleep on it. So I curled up on your chest and learned patience. Didn’t want to let the weight of my tears wake your gorgeous. The mornings can be so mortal.”

“I learned how to love my weakness. I wear my insecurities like a good suit to a job interview. I’m awkward, I’m awkward, I’m awkward, I’m awkward, and I love it. I make a fool of myself, I make a fool of myself, but still have the confidence of a firefly buzzing in the gut of a cave. I cry, I cry, and I fight, and I cry, and I fight, I cry, I cry and I fail, and I fall and I get the f*** back up! I’m no longer afraid to stumble, to fall flat on my face and look around like nothing happened.”
