“Most of us understand that your future is not promised to you. It is constructed day by day, through the choices you make. Your future is earned, little by little, through hard work and action. If you don’t act accordingly, that dream dissolves.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name: A Memoir

“La vida en blanco o negro es un ardid ficticio de los inseguros: navegar en los bravíos mares de los grises no es para cualquiera...”
― Gonzalo Guma

“The power that each of us has over complete strangers to make them feel terrible and and frightened and weak is amazing.”

“Victims exist in a society that tells us our purpose is to be an inspiring story. But sometimes the best we can do is tell you we're still here, and that should be enough. Denying darkness does not bring anyone closer to the light. When you hear a story about rape, all the graphic and unsettling details, resist the instinct to turn away; instead loo closer, because beneath the gore and the police reports is a whole, beautiful person, looking for ways to be in the world again.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name
