The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.

Letting someone know exactly how you feel, putting it all out on the line for them. You had an idea of what their reaction would be, but you also had the hope that it would end up in some other way. It’s a risk you have to take, it’s a risk that everyone has to take to make…
I actually felt something. That hasn’t happened in a really long time and I’ve lived long enough to know that when it does, you should act on it.
Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.
