You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

by Felicia Day

I know I shouldn’t introduce my own memoir with this amount of insecurity, but my personal life philosophy is always to assume the worst, then you’re never disappointed.

Knowing yourself is life’s eternal homework.

Your qualification for finding a place to belong is enthusiasm and passion, and I think that’s a beautiful thing.

But I AM saying don’t chase perfection for perfection’s sake, or for anyone else’s sake at all. If you strive for something, make sure it’s for the right reasons. And if you fail, that will be a better lesson for you than any success you’ll ever have. Because you learn a lot from screwing up.

Never let the truth stop you from getting what you want.

There are enough negative forces in this world—don’t let the pessimistic voice that lives inside you get away with that stuff, too. That voice is NOT a good roommate.
