Coming out was painful, but life got so much better for me.

I used to dislike it, but now I like it more and more, feeling small. I like feeling like a little speck.

For me, breastfeeding was even more painful than giving birth. And despite a lactation consultant, I felt incompetent. I forged on, barely sleeping, always either breastfeeding or pumping and never getting the hang of it.

People think it's great to be ahead of your time, but it can actually be quite painful.

It was painful, but sometimes you must have these painful moments where you tear yourself away from something that isn't working.

I hated, when I was a kid, being told that 'Black people don't do that.' And the white kids at school didn't accept me because I was black, and the black kids in my neighborhood didn't accept me because they thought I thought I was white.

I really hated fighting people and hurting them, but felt unable to stop.

I was pregnant with my first child during 'Stop/Kiss,' and for whatever reason, the fact that I was so physically uncomfortable allowed me to be freer in the role.

Like most people, I have painful memories of trying to fit in as a child. I wore, said, and did pretty much what everyone else did.

I always hated being a child. I always felt like an adult trapped in a child's body.
