" My philosophy was very much to embrace yourself and love what you are, instead of making you something you're not. Refine what you already have- don't change it at its core.
We have all done things we never thought we could and been places we never thought we could go. Good and bad. As scary as this can be I want you to know no matter how broken you feel, and how seemingly unlikely it is, we are never too broken to heal. More than that, there will be people who love and accept you completely, and there will be people who do not. If you love and accept yourself all the way, no matter what, through thick and thin, then either way you will make it through. "
