Aren't you sick of choking down your truth?Aren't you over nodding yes when you mean no?Then stop-shutting and choking and nodding.You have not come this far to stay silent.You have not endured so much to give up now.You have not awakened just to go back to sleep.Right now is the time to announce yourself. Who are you? What do we need to know?Only you make claim to who you are.Only you decide what's right, and not, for you.Only you choose how you want to shine.You-only you-get to create your singular life."

This is the hand of a woman who would climb a rope of her own hair to freedom, or kill a captor ogre in his sleep.

It's like asking somebody to swallow the sun."

Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it's always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you."
