The time to assert one's right is when it's denied!

I found that I could not climb my way up to God in a blaze of doing and performing. Rather, I had to descend into the depths of myself and find God there in the darkness of troubled waters.

Regrets don't help anything.

We have to acknowledge sometimes that this moment is enough. This place is enough. I am enough.

Sunset is the saddest light there is.

There was nothing I hated worse than clumps of whispering girls who got quiet when I passed. I started picking scabs off my body and, when I didn't have any, gnawing the flesh around my fingernails until I was a bleeding wreck. I worried so much about how I looked and whether I was doing things right, I felt half the time I was impersonating a girl instead of really being me.

You gotta imagine what's never been.
