Something happens to me when I witness someone's courage. They may not know I'm watching and I might not let them know. But something happens to me that will last me for a lifetime. To fill me when I'm empty, and rock me when I'm low.

Once women are not excluded, I don't think any of us will give a damn what pronouns are used. That wasn't the point.

In my life, the stories I have heard from my family, my friends, my community, and from willing strangers all over the world have been the true source of my education.

I like this life. I like it when it's hard, and I like it better when it's not, but I know you don't get the sweet part without the bitter.

Time has passed through me and become a song.

Often thoughts are given to me with the sole purpose of giving them away.

Leaping away from my mistakes has propelled me forward. It has great force behind it. It makes for great storytelling.
