There Are Times When I'm Super-overwhelmed, And Everything FEELS Like It's Hitting Me In The Face At Once, But I Think What's KEEPING Me Calm, And Who I Am By STAYING True To Myself, Is My Whole FAMILY Being So Supportive And Keeping Me Grounded. They Treat Me The Exact Same Way They Treated Me YEARS And Years Ago.

I GREW Up Feeling 'less Than.' I Was The Sad, Shy Child Hiding In The Hall CLOSET Beneath Coats. I'd Wait For My Grandmother's Voice To Call, 'Jewell, Jewell.' I Was Lost, Waiting To Be Found. I Thought Being Found, I'd Be HAPPIER, BETTER. All The While, I Read Stories. Stories With Both Truth And Lies.

That Which Is UNJUST Can REALLY PROFIT No One; That Which Is Just Can Really HARM No One.

As MUCH As I'd LIKE To MEET The Tooth Fairy On An EVENING Walk, I Don't Really BELIEVE It Can Happen.

Resentment Is LIKE Taking Poison And WAITING For The Other PERSON To Die.
