"I wish you’d realize there’s no salvation or damnation in the opinions of others. You will never be completed by their reactions or words. All you can do is take what’s best in you and the truth in your bones and move forward without apology. You may not have a flawless appearance. You may not be the smartest or the wisest, but you have so much spirit and don’t even know it. Hate is too easy. Resentment and viciousness are weapons that only dismantle the others lies while protecting your own. But I never see you stoop to that – and yet you doubt yourself because other people do. Why don’t you just look in the mirror for one second and see how goddamn fucking awesome you are and how the only thing wrong with you is not realizing how right you are? Somehow, I think you’re on the cusp of understanding this and when you do, you’re going to own the world."

there are moments i slip up, and these scribbled lines are but poor thanks for the faith of a friend that is at once a salve and an arrow.

looking forward to a holiday in a week's time. =)
