“in spite of anyone else's barriers and limitations and boxes and stories… i hope you let yourself dream. and search. and discover. and grow. and be many-layered, and curious, and unlimited… and passionate and wild… and soft and vulnerable… and have depth or lightness… and be found or lost… and be as many other things as you want to be. and i hope you find a way to be unafraid and unapologetic and undeterred as you do… because other people’s barriers and limitations and boxes and stories are just that… theirs.”

“Ways To Break This Southern Girl’s Heart after Diane Lato's “Easy Ways To Break My Heart” – give her unsweetened tea. there are no two more terrible words to a southern girl when put together – tell her you're an alabama fan. you've gotta know that she's gonna bleed volunteer orange ‘til the end no matter – tell her you don't like the mountains. her heart has east tennessee sunrises imprinted on it… and she wants to show you every sunlit, treelined, starkissed view – turn down the volume when ‘country girl' by ray lamontagne comes on. papa used to play it for her on the porch, and she's gotta hear every bit of it, every time – you wanna really crush her heart? then ask to meet her daddy. because he isn't in her heart anymore. he was the first one who broke it, and in too many ways, long ago – and if you wanna just completely shatter her into pieces… then try to give her an ordinary love. because she needs love like wildfire. like forever-fire. until every last southern sun sets. till the stars burn out. and to know her heart is finally safe… with you …she needs to know that breaking her heart is the very last thing you would ever want to do.”

“Catholics say, anglicans ain't real christians. Jews say, christians ain't the chosen people. Hindus say, even a muslim's shadow ruins faith. Muslims say, every non-muslim is an infidel. Everybody thinks they're the chosen ones, and everybody else is living in sin. Only the brand of the bottle changes, not the prejudice and bigotry within.”

“i saw one step. in the dark. not a path. not even two steps. so i took just one step. and i didn't know if there would be another one waiting, but i took it anyways… because i'm trying to have a brave heart even when it feels so. dark. so with no light and everything unknown and not even very much hope, i took a little step. and then… there was another little step. and everything in me breathed wild relief, not because i'm where i want to be yet… but because there was another step. and so now i have a little hope. and i still don't know what's waiting, and i don't know when i'll get to where i pray that i'm going, but i know that when i do… i'll look back and see just how much it mattered that i took that one little step.”
