Scars are memories that never fade.

One cannot become stronger without failure.

A man who does not trust himself can never truly trust anyone else.

you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been,
and there you long to return..."

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing, it's
when you've had everything to do and you've done it!"
