I never imagined any of the success I am currently experiencing.

I don't read the comments anymore, unless they are moderated. Which is not to say censored, but I don't need to read someone saying, "You're ugly."

What is it like to be connected to someone you can never get away from, for better or worse? I love trying to answer that question.

I look at my older writing to see where my weaknesses are and then I try to address those weaknesses and make new mistakes.

The past is always with you. Some people want to be protected from this truth.

People do terrible things all the time, but we don’t regularly disown our humanity. We disavow the terrible things.

I would love to see more acknowledgement of how challenging it is to feel positive about fatness when you can't find clothing. When there literally is not something made for your body. Nobody ever talks about that; all those fat girl clothes swaps and stuff are for a very specific kind of fat girl. If I was Lane Bryant fat, I would be joyful about fatness.
