“Think back to yourself as a preteen. Puberty hasn't hit yet, but it's starting to peek around the corner, so you're all kinds of awkward. Braces. Training bras that are flat fabric on an even flatter chest. Hairy legs. Weird growth spurts that leave some parts of your body longer than they should be and other shorter. Nothing about you is proportionate. Nothing is cute.”
― Naya Rivera, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up

“So when life gives me lemons, I say fuck it and drink champagne.”
― Naya Rivera, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up

“Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.”
― Naya Rivera

“Never feel bad about cutting someone out of your life—sometimes that's the only option. When you hang out with people who are true friends, you come away feeling lighter, more inspired to work hard, give love, and take care of yourself.”
― Naya Rivera, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up
