“I will teach my daughter not to wear her skin like a drunken apology. I will tell her ‘make a home out of your body, live in yourself, do not let people turn you into a regret, do not justify yourself.

Do not deconstruct from the inside out, you belong here, you belong here, not because you are lovely, but because you are more than that.

“Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our chidlren's health (and also, by the way, in our own).”
