I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I find I get fixed in my ways if I don't change. I think I take too many things for granted.
I discovered that my insecurities and my flaws were things that I actually need to embrace, and I let them become my superpowers.
It's curious how we act in moments of personal despair.
My physical transformations - like changing my hair - are usually a reflection of what's inspiring me at the moment.
I don't take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It's made me wonder about mortality and how long you've got somebody in the world. I'm more fearful than I used to be.
No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.
I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.
I'm really ultra-affected by things, I feel things deeper, and I cry at the drop of a hat, and offended and sensitive and I'm almost paranoid very easily, and that's who I am.
I'm under no illusion that there are things about me that I'd like to change. I just accept who I am, and I'm proud of it.
In a funny way, when things went wrong in my life - and it is my fault that they went wrong, it is not anyone else's fault - and all the glittering outside things were taken away, I was left with the things of most value.
