"I am not a snowflake.
I am not a sweet, infantilising
symbol of fragility and life.
I am a strong, fierce, flawed
adult woman. I plan to remain
that way, in life
and in death."
Stella Young
"I restore myself
when I'm alone"
Marilyn Monroe
“Accomplishments don’t erase
shame, hatred, cruelty, silence,
ignorance, discrimination, low
self-esteem or immorality.
It covers it up,
with a creative version
of pride and ego. -
- Only restitution,
forgiving yourself and others,
compassion, repentance
and living with dignity will
ever erase the past.”
Shannon L. Alder
Oh I'm Getting Out Of Here!
"Be proud of every
scar on your heart,
each one holds a
lifetime’s worth
of lessons."
Wallace Stegner
