Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself.
I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection
Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.
