Quote by Rhyanna Watson

“Body positivity is about getting rid of harmful stereotypes and banishing false perceptions of beauty. It means developing a safe space where all bodies – no matter what their shape, size, age, ethnicity or physical ability – are accepted as equal. Honouring this approach means putting an end to shaming comparisons of our own bodies with others; it means avoiding derogatory labels or putting some bodies on a pedestal. All bodies are good bodies. All bodies are positive.”

I love to start with one thing, start with some leaves in the garden, and kind of trip out, and go, really far, into where we go, and we are...that's how I think. I was a spaced-out child...

You have four or five balls in the air, and or three or four of those plates, you have some plates in the air, and that's what a good novelist is doing, keeping the plates in the air.”

“It wasn't that I gave up on her healing, but, as she continued to struggle to get in the door and actively needed her self-hatred to stay functional, I began to realize more deeply that her patterns had meaning and that it wasn't useful for me to predetermine what recovery might look like for her.”

“You want to lash out at the parts of your self that seem to hold you back. At moments like that, it's important to be able to sit down and speak gently within yourself, as if saying a prayer or reading a poem. Whichever part of you is unhappy, reassure it: accept your many selves, and allow them to speak both to you and to each other.”
