Never give up on something you love
If anything, we should feel sorry for the people who want us to feel bad about ourselves, because they are the ones struggling for approval. In middle school, bullies tortured other kids because they thought it would make people like them more.
It's very unbalanced actually, to be real. Everything's like deserted.
Everyone is beautiful, everyone is perfect, and everyone is lovely.
When you feel your best, everybody else can feel it, too.
I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet, I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She's sort of become my fairy godmother.
