More quotes by Lauren Myracle
I did a lot of research on a couple different things. One was, how do people handle hating themselves and hating others? And hatred is a secondary emotion, I think it always springs from something else ... usually fear, that's probably what it is. So I looked a lot at that.
Lauren Myracle
I didn't like being alone. Being alone was slightly better than having to deal with people, that's all. Or so I'd convinced myself.
Lauren Myracle
Suck it up. This is the life you chose for yourself, so buck up and deal.

Lauren Myracle
And you're figuring out who you are, and you haven't yet become stagnant in your thinking. You haven't solidified. And one thing that I find is that a lot of grown-ups tend to look back on their high school or middle school years and say, Oh, thank God all that's over.
Lauren Myracle
Even so, I was proud of myself for taking action at all. I didn't hide or run away or pretend the ugliness didn't happen. I stood up and said something that was true. I said it out loud, and by doing so, I was standing up for lots of people, not just me.
Lauren Myracle
I live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here.

We are all flawed, my dear. Every one of us. And believe me, we've all made mistakes. You've just got to take a good hard look at yourself, change what needs to be changed, and move one, pet.
Lauren Myracle
I was just teasing, I say. I myself don't like to eat plain butter, but hey, it's a free world.
