“Practically everyone thinks they're smarter than a teenage girl. It's what makes being one so powerful, if you know how to use that giant mistake of an assumption.”

“I am so sick of crying over them...those girls and what happened to each of them. My mother and what she dragged me into... and how I clawed myself out.”

“It was the perfect meet-cute, except when you’re a girl who likes other girls, there’s this little additional dance, because what if she doesn’t? So you’re not looking for red flags like a girl does with a guy—you’re looking for rainbow ones.”

“What didn't kill me didn't make me stronger; what didn't kill me made me into a victim.
But I made me stronger. I made me into a survivor.”

“I hate the whole " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" saying. It's bullshit. Sometimes what kills you is worse. Sometimes what kills you is preferable. Sometimes what doesn't kill you messes you up so bad it's always a fight to make it through what you left with.
What didn't kill me didn't make me stronger; what didn't made me a victim.
But I made me stronger. I made me into a survivor.”
