“When we lose our ability to dream, it’s one of the worst things that can be taken away from us.”
“I’ve always really struggled with having big boobs and felt like they weren’t right for my body.”
“The myth that body modification is not something inherent to the human species is so weird. There are so many different other examples of that throughout history and different cultures, and the fact that there’s so much judgment, especially towards non-binary folks and women who are usually engaged in, it’s suspicious.”
“Drinking was really a symptom of codependency and, just my childhood stuff coming to the surface.”
“I’ve had such, as we all have, a complicated relationship with Instagram. But again, I really was helped by the Digital Altars class and I have really just learned to have fun there and really give so little fucks about what anybody thinks about it, cares about it. I just really could care less at this point, which took a long time.”
“My fear is always, I will lose friends. And as you just mentioned, I seem to have quite a few so it seems like no one’s going anywhere, the more money I make.”
