““I have learned through this journey of mine that faith will sustain you, while religion will exhaust you. Love will carry you, while jealousy and judgement will knock you to the ground. I’ve learned that family isn’t necessarily blood, but those who stand by your side while others run away. Not everyone who claims to love you has the capacity to do so. You are not defined by what someone else thinks of you and your worth is not calculated by whether or not others choose to love you. You have inherent worth and indeterminable value simply because you are you. You are good enough. Period.””
