"The truth is we all ache. We all have growing pains and wonder if we are okay and enough loved. The thing is-we are. Really. Without the silver shoes and leopard print sheets. We are enough without all the things we buy to make us much more than we are or need to be. We are simple and complex and rare as is."
"Sometimes I forget about the magic.Like the moon and red leaves and how the apples grow again and again outside my windows."
"I think that if we can aim for just five minutes of complete acceptance of ourselves, we are doing really well!"

"It's okay NOW. These feelings are normal and have to be allowed to be felt and seen.

We have to trust that our friends won't quit on us when we are hopeless and even more- we can't quit on ourselves. We are all we have deep down- and all we can save."
