Christa Seeley

“Bodies are imperfect, and sometimes they let us down. They are susceptible to disease and breakage and entropy. Our bodies can disappoint us, and the world can punish us when our bodies aren’t what they “should” be. So we are not suggesting that you “love your body,” like that’s an easy fix. We’re suggesting you be patient with your body and with your feelings about your body.”
― Emily Nagoski, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

“The moral of the story is: We thrive when we have a positive goal to move toward, not just a negative state we’re trying to move away from.”
― Emily Nagoski, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle

“I feel like I'm way down this deep, deep hole and I'm looking up and all there is is this little dot of light and I have to shout at the top of my lungs for anyone to hear me and even when I do, I say the wrong thing or they don't really listen or they're just humouring me.”
― Patrick Ness, The Rest of Us Just Live Here

“When women are gathered together with no men around, they don't have to be anything in particular; they can just be”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, City of Girls
