“If I didn't channel my feelings into angry tears, I would probably have an assault record by now. Tears are "too emotional", too "girly", or "too unreasonable". Bullshit. Sometimes I cry so that I don't rip a dude's throat out.”

“At one point in this biography, I started a sentence with the words "tearing down" and in the editing process, she crossed them out and provided this alternative "creating in spite of and beyond." That simple reframing blew my mind. I actually felt a seismic shift in my brain and in my body . And I know I will think of this forever and ever. My own language has a tendency to be rooted in destruction. I want to pull things apart and examine them. While her language is rooted in possibility, a desire to grow, and explore, and persuade. This is just one way she models how to to thrive.”
