Eliza and Her Monsters

by Francesca Zappia

I am an absolute wreck of a human being, and right now I am completely okay with it.

Broken people don’t hide from their monsters. Broken people let themselves be eaten.

Eliza, your worth as a person is not dependent on the art you create or what other people think of it.”

I think I will also love myself and what I’ve made, and I’ll know without doubt that those two things are separate.
