“I’ve been fighting to be who I am all my life. What’s the point of being who I am, if I can’t have the person who was worth all the fighting for?”

“I am who I’ve been pretending to be my whole life.”

“I am not a fighter, but I will fight for who I love”

“He’s worth fighting for, but I won’t change who I am for any man. No more than he should alter himself to suit me.”

“I'm not fighting for justice. I am not fighting for freedom. I am fighting for my life and another day in the world here.”

“Just because I liked something at one point in time doesn’t mean I’ll always like it, or that I have to go on liking it at all points in time as an unthinking act of loyalty to who I am as a person, based solely on who I was as a person. To be loyal to myself is to allow myself to grow and change, and challenge who I am and what I think. The only thing I am for sure is unsure, and this means I’m growing, and not stagnant or shrinking.”
