Be about ten times more magnanimous than you believe yourself capable of being. Your life will be a hundred times better for it. - Cheryl Strayed

I hope when people ask what you're going to do with your English and/or creative writing degree you'll say: ... Carry it with me, as I do everything that matters.

I always did what someone else wanted me to do. I've always been someone's daughter or mother or wife. I've never just been me.

I'm just giving you shit. I think it's neat you do what you want. Not enough chicks do that, if you ask me — just tell society and their expectations to go fuck themselves. If more women did that, we'd be better off.
