You are perfect exactly the way you are, and you know something? The people who think you aren’t, are the people who don’t matter. We don’t give a fuck about those people, Sarah. We’re better off without them. The only people we have room for in our lives are the kind who don’t ask us to be anything or anyone we’re not. Wait for those people, Sarah. That’s the family you deserve.”
