I am no longer a victim of change: I am shaping the world that is to come.

We teach girls to be likeable, to be nice, to be false. And we do not teach boys the same. This is dangerous.

Let’s breathe and remember that it is not the device that has value; the value is found in the connections which the device allows us to sustain.

Sometimes, I know I'm hanging onto a part of my life that I'll eventually need to let go of...but not just yet.
