Status Updates From Glow in the F*cking Dark: S...

If a friend hadn’t lent me this because she was convinced I would love it so much, I would have quit by 10 pages in. The folksy, chatty constant asides are annoying af.

“I love you very much, but if you are not setting a boundary, you're impeding others from their own growth.”

“At the intersection of grief and gratitude, in the space we have carved out for honesty, I have found my own salvation.”

“This is now how I like to think of love, not as one person merging into another, but as two stars who have been through their own pressures and turmoils and triumphs, coming together to shine side by side, no matter how long it takes to get there, each giving light to the other and then to us all.”

“I am the only person who can validate me and I’m doing the best I can.”

“if I continued to tie myself to awards or reviews or achievements, I would always be the passenger to someone else's opinions”

“How can we build a more healthy and kind world if we’ve lost all hope in our individual wherewithal to do that for ourselves?”

“We can’t get what we don’t ask for.”

“we don't have to make that part up, there is nothing we have to fix, improve, or spend money on to create-it is already here.”

“Many of us believe that we have lost our most authentic selves. Some of us think we never had them to begin with we might believe that our trauma happened so early that we never even had the chance to meet the people we were born to be.”

“we must touch and comfort our own sorrow if we are going to help anyone else, because if we don't, how can we ever truly empathize?”

“most people really want, and in some cases are desperate, to be seen and heard. Often when people feel misunderstood or hurt, at the bottom of it all is the feeling of not being acknowledged, so by tuning in and validating my nearest and dearest, I can give them a gift I know they'll love.”
