“Such unfortunate language. Only those who cannot express themselves intelligently would resort to such crude substitutions in vocabulary.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Unravel Me

“Someone once made me see that, and I wanted to give that to you.” I stared up at him, my heart racing but so happy I wanted to cry. He knew. He understood what I wanted more than anything. Freedom. “Own who you are,” he commanded. “And don’t apologize. Do you understand? Own it or it will own you.” Relief flooded me. For the first time in my entire life, someone told me it was okay to want what I wanted. To get into messes and to dive in headfirst. To have a little fucking fun before I died. I dropped my hands from the wall and slowly turned around, feeling his arm around my waist loosen to let me move.”
