Smile pretty and watch your back

I still define myself by the places that I've been.

Mostly, I stay out of social media conversations. But sometimes, they hunt me down and shoot at me anyway!

I try to laugh at whatever life brings.

I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall, and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all.

I believe the act of giving birth to be the single most miraculous thing a human being can do and it is surely the moment when a lot of women finally understand the depth of their power. You think it can’t possibly be done, you think you can’t possibly take the pain, and then you do-—and afterward you look at yourself in a whole new way. If you can do that, you can do anything.

Lying in bed, you know, you don't seem so tall.
