Self-acceptance also raises your vibration

“It doesn’t matter who or how many come at you, you have to be you. Confidently. Authentically. Bravely.”

—Ryan Holiday, Courage Is Calling: Fortune Favours the Brave

Synchronicities happen a lot more when you’re spreading love, giving back and being yourself

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”

—Oscar Wilde

“The essential lesson I've learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you're not here as a human being only. You're a spiritual being having a human experience.”

—Wayne Dyer

“Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.”

—Bruce Lee

Don’t compare

“God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.”

—Meister Eckhart

I'm lazy about someone who doesn't make mistakes. I have the deep sleep of someone who prefers the warm. I like the risk. Of those who take risks. I have a deep admiration for those who follow their heart. I believe in free people. Freedom to be. Good courage to show yourself. Slap your face! That's the way I am. I have a million flaws. But I live to feel.

~ Clarice Lispector

Eu tenho preguiça de quem não comete erros. Tenho profundo sono de quem prefere o morno. Eu gosto do risco. Dos que arriscam. Tenho admiração nata por quem segue o coração. Eu acredito nas pessoas livres. Liberdade de ser. Coragem boa de se mostrar. Dar a cara a tapa! Eu sou assim. Tenho um milhão de defeitos. Mas eu vivo para sentir.

— Clarice Lispector

You're right. You're absolutely right. I keep trying to tell myself this, but I keep going back to feeling like what I do is some kind of performance.

It's hard for me to change mindsets, and it takes a long while, but I'm determined to be a creator that loves doing what they do.

for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want.  be utterly  shameless about including every last fantasy.  i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.

don't let people tell you your special interest isn't socially acceptable and that you should "get a better interest"

be yourself. may the people who get deterred get deterred, and let the people who are cool with it be friends with you

No one will ever fully be able to understand the internal battles you had to endure just to heal, just to grow, just to make it here today. Be proud of the way you fought to save yourself. Be proud of the way you survived.
