Quotes to ponder:

"Shame is a prison in all our minds."

"When I hate myself, however, I don’t know that it will go away. I begin to function as a different person in a different reality."

"It happens to everyone, until it doesn’t. Until they make a purposeful effort to begin perceiving themselves another way."
