Sublime

People talk about confidence without ever bringing up hard work. That’s a mistake.

Tenho medo que as pessoas pensem que gosto demais de mim mesma.

Someone had singled me out for praise and the trophy deserved to be seen. Then my mom said something to me, slowly and carefully, like she always did to make sure I was really listening: “They gave you that trophy so you wouldn’t feel bad, not because you deserved it. You should know the difference.”

Passei anos em uma amizade totalmente realizadora e incrível com uma pessoa que é apenas a representação do fruto de minha imaginação.
