“So, of course, the relationship you have with yourself, your inner partner, still has to be considered the most important and influential relationship, for it is from this center that you set the tone for the quality of the relationships you will have with each and every person you meet.”

“The shadow, in simple terms, is a personification of complex emotions we can’t easily process. As mentioned before, as children, we could only understand things on a superficial level, and in turn, all experiences difficult to process, like traumatic experiences and negative events, get compartmentalized and mashed together in the shape of our personal shadow. Normally, we see a shadow as bad because it’s dark and evil in most media, but at its core, a shadow is just a mirrored version of you that mimics you.”

“Getting to be mean in whatever capacity you most effectively can is a great way to let a lot of that internal rage out. I always compare myself to a venomous snake: in order to be the best version of myself for the world, I must expel my venom.
Never feel bad for standing up for yourself or for standing up for others, because it's never in vain, even if it can feel like it at the time. You are worth the respect that you so freely give to others, so if someone refuses to give that to you as a fellow human, then offer it to yourself in the form of advocacy. I hope that people continue to come my way for the courage to truly allow themselves this freedom. I'll always be here to remind you: Being mean is not always required, but sometimes it's necessary. And there's nothing wrong with that!”
― Loud: Accept Nothing Less Than the Life You Deserve
