"I'm lovely and lonely and belong deeply to myself"
"My alone feels so good, I'll only have you if you're sweeter than my solitude"
"But sometimes your light attracts moths, and your warmth attracts parasites. Protect your space and energy"

"Make peace with your body, it's not manmade, there are no flaws, there are no mistakes."
"Perhaps, the problem is not the intensity of your love, but the the quality of the people you are loving."
"It's not my responsibility to be beautiful, I'm not alive for that purpose."

"My existence is not about how desirable you find me."
"You can't make homes out of human beings, someone should have already told you that.
And if he wants to leave met him leave.
You are terrifying and strange and beautiful; something not everyone knows how to love"

"You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say, 'wow, isn't he so terribly brave for loving a girl who is so obviously sad'? You think I'll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I'll swallow you whole."
