“But that's how I felt in high school, sure that my people were from elsewhere, and going elsewhere, and that they would recognise me when they saw me. They would like me enough that it wouldn't matter if I liked myself. They would see the good in me so that I could, too.”

Please don't get on me for skinny shaming. If that's how you are shaped, God bless, but we gotta mix it up, because it's upsetting and confusing to women with other body types.”
― Amy Schumer, The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo

“I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem.”
