“Life is so much a daily exercise in learning to love yourself and forgive yourself, over and over.”
― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love

“There are a million ways to reach recovery. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t find a way that works for you.”
― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love

“We are all a beautiful jumble of layers, parts, and mixtures of experiences, but my most important part, and in my opinion everyone’s most valuable part, is the one that chooses self-love instead of self-harm in the grand sweeping ways but also the little ways every single day. Learning to parent yourself, with soothing compassionate love, forgiving yourself, and learning from all the decisions you made to get you to where you are - that’s the key to being fulfilled. Learning to be the dream parent cheerleader to yourself. It’s been in you the whole time. And no matter how down you get, you can always make a gorgeous recovery.”
― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love

“One thing I have come to notice in my life is that recovery for me has not been linear. It’s more two steps forward, three back, five forward, two back, so I’m always improving but there are setbacks within the improvement.”
