“It was harder to let yourself sink if someone else needed you to be their rock.”

“In the morning I'm like a snake in the spring: I need to lie out on a warm rock and let the sun sink into me before I can start wiggling around and get on with the day.”

“The problem is that the more you love someone, the harder it is to let them go.”

“You almost have to step outside yourself and look at you as if you were someone else you really care about and really want to protect. Would you let someone take advantage of that person? Would you let someone use that person you really care about? Or would you speak up for them? If it was someone else you care about, you'd say something. I know you would. Okay, now put yourself back in that body. That person is you. Stand up and tell 'em, "Enough!”

“Being yourself is all it takes. If you want to impress someone don't be someone else just be yourself.”

“before you judge someone else, judge yourself”
