People who stand up for themselves are magnetic—partly because most people don’t. Whether or not you can feel it yet, you’ve just joined us here, where the once broken and the shamed and the damaged stand together and say, “Other people’s ignorance and casual rejection don’t define me. I know who I am.” I KNOW WHO I AM. Repeat those words every morning, okay? I know who I am. I am honest and brave and stronger than ever.
