“But even though I know my flaws are many (many many many), and there are always ways I could be better, and I should never stop working for that—I also need to give myself a break. I can cut myself some slack sometimes. Because I’m a work in progress. Because nobody is perfect. At least I acknowledge the mistakes I’ve made, and am making. At least I’m trying.

And just because I have room for improvement doesn’t mean I’m worthless, or that I have nothing to offer to, like, the world.”
― Hannah Harrington, Speechless

“(...) mahalagismul tine nu de periferia orasului, ci de periferia moravurilor.”
