A Practice in Self Love and Defiance

1. You cannot change your mother’s mind, but speak her language and try your best to help her understand

2. Being raised on beauty and not worth leaves you starving but that doesn’t mean you can’t feed yourself what you crave from others

3. Forgiving your mother for all the times she tried to change you is one of the hardest things to do but is precursory to healing

4. No one can take away the agency you have over your own body
