"The problem with depicting abusers as full-time monsters is that when a person is actually experiencing abuse in their own life, they'll think 'oh but he's the sweetest guy most of the time so he can't be an abuser ' or 'but he's not ALWAYS horrible, he's usually amazing, so he's not an abuser', and they'll make the mistake of thinking they mustn't really be being abused when they actually are."

As a society we shame girls with deep voices or masculine features and we shame boys with soft voices or effeminate gestures. Girls get called 'too manly' and boys get called 'too girly'. The only solution I can think of is to be unashamedly 'you'. If that means challenging stereotypes and gender norms, go right ahead!"

"Living your life through negative feelings and memories is doing yourself a dishonour.If you want to change you need to be willing to leave your past wounds behind you. -If you wish to remain stuck in your attachment to past pains then dare to ask yourself exactly why you feel the need to define yourself by your past traumas or tragedies."
