“When you’re a charmer
you hate yourself
a victim of sideshow hypnosis
like everyone else.”

“The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.”

“Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else.”

“When you compete against everyone else, no one wants to help you. But when you compete against yourself, everyone wants to help you.”

“You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once—there has to be a limit”

“When you're rotten about yourself, you become rotten to everyone else, even those
you love.”

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through”

“There are moments in your life when you see yourself through someone else’s eyes, when your only hope of believing you’re capable of doing something is because someone else believes it for you.”

“Middle school is for being like everyone else; middle age is for being like yourself. (430)”

“Remember, you’re unique. And so is everyone else.”
