“i am a lioness who is no longer afraid to let the world hear her roar -an ode to me”

“the only thing required to be a woman is to identify as one. - period, end of story.”

“when I die, do not waste a minute mouring me. I may go, but I will leave behind all my thousand & one lives — a bookmad girl never dies.”

“i’m not scared of the monsters hidden underneath my bed. i’m much more scared of the boys with messy brown hair, sleepy eyes, & mouths that only know how to form half-truths.”

“repeat after me: you owe no one your forgiveness. - except maybe yourself.”

“my boy? he is even better than books. -fiction has nothing on you.”
