“In the end there’s more beauty in the imperfection.”

“I just hope that you will look in the mirror and remind yourself of what you are and what you are not.
You are not your mistakes. You are not damaged or muddy from your failed explorations.
You are not the opinion of someone who doesn't know you.
You are a product of the lessons that you've learned. You are wiser because you went through something terrible. And you are the person who survived a bunch of rainstorms and kept walking.
I now believe that being makes you stronger and I now believe that walking through a lot of rainstorms makes you clean.”

“One thing I’ve started to suspect about myself is that I’m some kind of confusingly extroverted introvert. I just want to sit here on the couch with a tumblerful of the good booze Alice brought, soak in the music and the conversation, and not talk to anyone. I want to be invisible and lie down on the couch and fall asleep to the muffled sounds of conversation, like a child in the back seat of the car being driven safely through the night by grown-ups who love her.”
