“I don't really enjoy it, Mom.""And you've always felt this way?""I don't know. I guess I want a break.”

“As it turned out, my greatest fear in life had become expectations.”

“I don't really enjoy it, Mom.""And you've always felt this way?""I don't know. I guess I want a break.”

“Mom, I feel good. This dress makes me feel like someone I didn't know I could be. I've never owned anything like it. But if when you see this - when you see me- you think it's a pity, that it's a shame I didn't lose a few, then screw you, Mom. Try harder.”

“I've wasted a lot of time in my life. I've thought too much about what people will say or what they're gonna think. And sometimes it's over silly things like going to the grocery store or going to the post office. But there have been times when I really stopped myself from doing something special. All because I was scared someone might look at me and decide I wasn't good enough. But you don't have to bother with that nonsense. I wasted all that time so you don't have to.”

“I don't get it - how you can feel like there are no consequences for living with your feelings on your sleeve.”
