To discover the thing you're brilliant at you first have to endure realizing all the things you're average at.

You, me, this city, this country, we will always have a choice.When you stand up to be counted, tell the world, THIS IS MY VOICE. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Maybe the best we can hope for is that those we leave behind find comfort in knowing, that we’re born out of love, and not science. That biology explains the how, but love explains the why

But we are more than genteel or civilized/ we are an idea in the process of being realized.

We grew up learning to cheer on the underdog because we see ourselves in them.

A question like “do you love me?” was an itch our doctors told us not to scratch.

If you can't see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror.
