I love what I do, I love every minute of it.

Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.

You can't force other people to like you and you just kind of have to ride the wave. I think I could have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights with that advice.

When we, as young women, are given the space to read, the act becomes a happy, private corner we can return to for the rest of our lives. We develop this love of reading by turning to stories that speak to the most special, secret parts of us.

Like Summer Sisters comforted me just because I was like, okay things I've seen with my own eyes are not so terrible, and even though I knew adult gay people and had absolutely no issue with it. And I just couldn't articulate what made me so uncomfortable about the space that I shared with my friends becoming a sexual space. And it was very healing for me to read that, and feel like it was a part of other friendships, even fictional friendships I admire.

I feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.

I think that social networking makes people more connected, yet more distant, so there are people with less ties to real friend groups and less a sense of self.
