“Really, when I look back on it, I did exactly what I had set out to do. I changed my life. I woke myself up. I rediscovered passions of every variety. I forced myself to take a little time. I found a way to bring some of who I used to be into who I was.”— Katherine Center, Everyone is Beautiful

“I go from being half in love with you, and wanting you to be with me always, and know everything about me, to the extreme of wildness and aloofness.”— Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Leonard Woolf written c. May 1912
You are made of stardust, sunsets, and everything good in this world. Don’t let the world make you think otherwise.
