More quotes by Lauren Myracle
Suck it up. This is the life you chose for yourself, so buck up and deal.
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
Three hot chicks for three hot chicks. THEY'RE NOT CHICKS! THEY'RE DUCKS!
Lauren Myracle
Knowledge was more powerful than fear. Love was stronger than hate.
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
There's something strange about this big pink bunny.
Lauren Myracle
It's unfair how the kids who are starving for attention tended to be so annoying that people had no inclination to give it to them.
Lauren Myracle
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 live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here.
Lauren Myracle
You should eat a waffle! You can't be sad if you eat a waffle!
Lauren Myracle
If she did see, I hoped she' be amazed. Amazed and thankful, because without even asking, she'd received a genuine autograph from a genuine girl from Atlanta. Not just any girl, but a girl who was, frankly, a pretty big deal. A girl who was me.
Lauren Myracle
Kids are smart. Knowledge is power. Let them figure things out. Don't turn into that grown-up who they won't come to.
Lauren Myracle
And books are such an empowering way to give voice to some of these kids who aren't yet ready to tell their story. Or don't know what their story is, or are trying to figure it out.
Lauren Myracle
But you have to live in the present. You have to take the old and make it new -- that's my point.
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
Christmas is never over,unless you want it to be... Christmas is a state of mind.
Lauren Myracle
I think that ties in with issues of identity as well - that sometimes there are parts of us we want to hide, and then there's other times we say, You know what? Nope. Done hiding that part.
Lauren Myracle
Some people do want to stand on the rooftop and scream out their story. Others are cowering in the corner, or sitting with a blank face in class, and not knowing how to tell their story.
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'm a southern girl, and I grew up with this slightly schizophrenic upbringing where I bounced back and forth between Atlanta, Georgia, and a tiny mountain town called Brevard, North Carolina. My parents were divorced, and my two lives were very different because of socioeconomic reasons.
