My mom taught me to treat others the way I wanted to be treated, but you’d be surprised how many people don't want their shoulders massaged while in line at the grocery store.

My uterus is retired, but keeps showing up for work like, "you got anything for me to do?"

I want you to know that you are worthy of love, acceptance, healing, and happiness. In all of history, there has only been one you. There will only ever be one you. This world needs the weird, messed up, one-of-a-kind you in it. You are worth fighting for. Keep fucking going.
Radical acceptance inclusivity love (period)

I'm not usually vengeful, but when I am it's because someone gave my kid a whistle.

It’s weird that people ask why I am a writer, as if I had any choice in the matter.

I've watched children lick animals, shag carpet, a handrail at the zoo, the sidewalk, and a chair leg at the mall so evolution is done now.
