hope you learn to see the miracle, to claim your rightful place among wonders like supernovas and photosynthesis. But I also hope you understand that the things that drive you crazy about yourself are there to protect you, to help you, and to drive you toward the change you’ll need to make it through the next rough patch in your life. Most of all, I hope you learn to accept the miracle that is every person you’ve ever met, and ever will meet. When they’re a pain in your ass—well, now you know that they’re just trying to survive too.
