"Even if you don’t think you’re broken, Life can still hand you a thousand ways to heal"

"I wish I didn’t know what I weighed or
What other people’s lives were like
I would be so blissfully ordinary
If these measures didn’t exist, "

"I quieted my life
Until the only thing I could hear
Was the sound that blood makes in your body
When you’re still enough and listen
And the tapping of rain on the windowsill And the simmer of sage leaves as they coil The familiar clicking of a keyboard
And the steeliness of a frigid afternoon Each of these an encryption
Reminding me what matters
Telling me where to go"

"Evolution is divinity at work
We are nature made aware of itself
Science is the most spiritual pursuit
To learn the patchwork of existence
Is to understand ourselves"

5.85% ""What we are doing here is unlearning
Unbecoming everything we were taught to be
We are unlearning trends, consuming
We are undoing binds, removing pacifiers
And screaming out
We are letting go of every beautiful thing
That we thought we needed to be who we are
And discovering that we could be ourselves
Or we could be distracted
There was never anything else""
