favorite book of all time

"i'm feeling rather disheveled and slightly crooked.
(i seem to be seeping out at the edges.)"

"i often feel an overwhelming pressure to 'have it all together'
what is 'it'?"

"i have been feeling so blank and full of muted tones.
i feel just sort of beige."

"the truth is we all ache.
we all have growing pains
and wonder if we are
okay and enough & loved.
the thing is - we are.
really.
without the silver shoes
and leopard print sheets.
we are enough without
all the things we buy
to make us much more
than we are or need to be
we are simple
and complex
and rare
as is."

- Sabrina Ward Harrison, Spilling Open (the art of becoming yourself)
