I was NOT expecting THAT voice out of THAT man.

You are not your bra-size, nor are you the width of your waist, nor are you the slenderness of your calves. You are not your hair color, your skin color, nor are you a shade of lipstick. Your shoe-size is of no consequence. You are not defined by the amount of attention you get from males, females, or any combination thereof. You are not the number of sit-ups you can do, nor are you the number of...
We tend to go through life like hamsters, running on our wheels and thinking that maybe, maybe, MAYBE, we’ll get there tomorrow.
Or the next day, or the next day!

You matter – you matter deeply, tremendously, unimaginably.
Without you, the world would be incomplete.
Even if you can only come to know this with the smallest, tiniest piece of your being – even with just the thinnest thread of who you are – grab hold of it as tightly as you can.
Even if you feel you have no strength left, grab ahold now, and...
Try something different.
Chances are that you’ve been comparing yourself to others for a long time. You know how awful it feels, and you know that it hasn’t really gotten you anywhere. So why not try something new? You have absolutely nothing to lose. So instead of shaming yourself for being different, try celebrating what makes you unique. Instead of beating yourself up for making a mistake, try accepting and loving...
