You give up on what you need to be doing because you forget that you're worth it.

Follow the tugs in your heart. I think that everybody gets these gentle urges and should listen to them. Even if they sound absolutely insane, they may be worth going for.
Victoria Moran
Image
Tell the world you are a one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.

Our society on a whole is trained to see young women. There are proportionally far more of them on magazine covers, on TV, and in films than int the actual population. As a result, we have a citizenry taught to see the young and ignore the not-so-young. It isn’t conscious it’s Pavlovian. (13)
