I wish 
I'd known from the beginning that I was born a strong woman. 
What a 
difference it would have made! 
I wish 
I'd known that I was born a courageous woman; 
I've 
spent so much of my life cowering. 
How 
many conversations would I not only started...
  
but finished if I'd known I possessed a 
warrior's heart? 
I wish 
I'd known that I'd been born to take on the world; 
I 
wouldn't have run from it for so long, 
but 
run to it with open arms."

“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz.
Learn your way around loneliness.
Make a map of it.
Sit with it, for once in your life.
Welcome to the human experience.
