Quote

I'm thankful I grew up the way I did. It made me a hard worker and insightful to other people's lives.

I think sometimes it is more important to be gracious than to win.

I think was overly empathetic for a while in my life.

I feel very grateful for the way I was brought up. I did not realise it then, but as I grew older and started writing and realised the material that was there was very strong, I felt very grateful that my life was complicated and that my identity was never clear but put me in a position that was always questioned.

I realized little by little that words are very powerful, and taking those words to encourage people rather than tear them apart was the desire of my heart.

God be praised for his gracious long suffering towards me in sparing my life so long. Grant, gracious God, that I may make a good use of the time that thou mayest be pleased yet to grant me for repentance.

I'm thankful for serendipitous moments in my life, where things could've gone the other way.

It brings me no joy and not enough comfort to dwell too much on things I've said or written or made or worn in the past.

I was born into a profession in which my love of words, chosen with care for their meaning and nuance, was extremely important, not only to me, but also to the people with whom I worked with.

I'm really thankful for every experience I've had, even the ones that were puzzling or disorienting, because they taught me so much.
