Commit to loving yourself completely. It’s the most radical thing you will do in your lifetime.
Andrea Gibson
Safety isn't always safe. You can find one on every gun.

You feather everything until you know you can always, always shake like a leaf on my family tree and know you belong here. You belong here and everything you feel is okay. Everything you feel is okay.
Andrea Gibson
I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a falling house But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing
Andrea Gibson
We're boxed in and labeled before we're ever able to speak who we believe we are or who we dream we'll become.
Andrea Gibson
