“I was clinging to this idea that everything about me was terrible, and that I could be better, but I had failed. It was a constant refusal to make peace with what I had to offer.
And that is total bullsh*t. The more you start to learn about what you are, which is absolutely completely interdependent and just a fractal of what everyone else is, the more it starts to break down.
I can't hate myself. It just doesn't make sense.” - Sara Campbell
