I’m sharing this with you because I want you to understand that telling a boy not to wear a dress is an act of spiritual murder.”

“But here’s the remarkable thing about self-love: When you start to love yourself for the first time, when you start to truly embrace who you are—flaws and all—your scars start to look a lot more like beauty marks. The words that used to haunt you transform into badges of pride.”
