“I just know there's literally no way for anyone to have their shit figured out in their twenties - or possibly ever. No matter what happens to you, or when, you'll always continue to grow and evolve, and that's something to be grateful for.”

“I would so much rather have my confidence rooted within than hope that a positive opinion about my own looks will be enough to carry me through. Because everything about my inner self - my integrity, the love I have to give, my wit, my humor - those things are steady. They're consistent, and they matter far, far more.”

“My mom didn't get married until I was four because my mom didn't want having children to be the main motivation behind getting married. She wanted to be sure that my dad was the one she could grow and evolve with, and she wanted him to be sure as well. She knew that a sense of obligation alone was a shaky foundation for a lasting family, and would be unfair to us as their children as well.”
