“I got paralyzed by things. I’m pretty sure that ‘I hate uncertainty’ was my first full sentence as a baby.”

“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

“Because when you have this much personality, there’s a fear lurking just below the surface: If you knew all of me, you wouldn’t love me anymore.”
― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top: A Raw Journey to Self-Love
