“Many of us have this view of ourselves being "captains of our ships", and just like the old adage, "the captain goes down with his ship"; we sit on our adamant moral high horses and would rather go down with our ships than let go of something to give it, and ourselves, a chance at something better. But I'm a mermaid. We don't go down with ships. We don't try to conquer the ocean; we swim and flow with the waves. We sink the ships that need to be sunk and we save the people that need to be saved.”

“We grow up being told to do this and told to do that because it's the 'right' thing to do. If we did something obscure, it'd be 'wrong'. We have been taught to choose the respectable, socially acceptable path that everyone else walks down. What if we were told to do what feels right and were not afraid to perceive the world in an authentic light. We are told how to think and what to think, but not how to feel. We don't always need logic, we need to feel.”
