If you feel something calling you to dance or write or paint or sing, please refuse to worry about whether you're good enough . Just do it. Be generous. Offer a gift to the world no one else can offer : yourself.

The only meaningful thing we can offer one another is love. Not advice, not questions about our choices, not suggestions for the future, just love.

It is a decision that compassion is more important than fear, than fitting in, than following the crowd.

I was what they call a 'highly functional addict.' ... sometimes people who need help look nothing like people who need help.

A good day is a good day. A bad day is a good story.

I think that sometimes quitting is exactly the right thing to do. Quitting something that's not working requires self-awareness and courage.

You are not a mess. You are a feely person in a messy world.
