Hold your own space and honor yourself and don’t let that space shrink or collapse in the company of indifference. Don’t ask indifference to love you.

Because once you build your own religion around gratitude and pride in who you are, at your best and at your worst, you’ll feel better than you ever have before.

You have to find the beauty in the rawness you’re feeling and the sweetness that lies just beyond your discomfort at being watched and appreciated and loved.
