Independence

You are more than one thing. You are more than many things. You are everything.

Most of the shadows in one's lifetime come from standing in one's own sunshine.

Limitations set by yourself give you boundaries to respect. But limitations set by others give you boundaries to bust through.

The scary news is, you're on your own now. But the cool news is, you're on your own now.

I had to go and chop down that wood and build my own table. Then I had to invite the best there was to have a seat.

To all those who feel different, if you're part of a group that's called 'other,' a group that does not get the chance to be center stage — build your own stage and make them see you.

You don't have to accept what was considered normal before. You don't have to accept the world as it is. You can make it into the world as it should be and could be. You can create a new normal.

We lose the freedom to be human.

In a world without digital privacy, even if you have done nothing wrong other than think differently, you begin to censor yourself. Not entirely at first. Just a little, bit by bit. To risk less, to hope less, to imagine less, to dare less, to create less, to try less, to talk less, to think less.

Not one drop of my self-worth depends on your acceptance of me.

Anything that seems to be set in stone or inalterable can, indeed, change.

Tear down walls of ignorance and narrow-mindedness, for nothing has to stay as it is.
