Joseph’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Brainwashed (Alabaster Penitentiary, #3)

Brainwashed (Alabaster Penitentiary, #3) by Nyla K.

1 highlight

There are too many labels. And you know what labels are? They’re just ways for people to feel in control, when in reality, there is no control. The world is chaos. Period.

“What it means to be authentic:
- to be more concerned with truth than opinions
- to be sincere and not pretend
- to be free from hypocrisy: "walk your talk"
- to know who you are and to be that person
- to not fear others seeing your vulnerabilities
- being confident to walk away from situations where you can't be yourself
- being awake to your own feelings
- being free from others' opinions of you
- accepting and loving yourself”
― Sue Fitzmaurice
