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

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

I still get very high and very low in life. Daily. But I've finally accepted the fact that sensitive is just how I was made, that I don't have to hide it and I don't have to fix it. I'm not broken.

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.

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

I think when your heart hurts this much it means you opened it wide once- and that is something to be proud of.
