“I wanna be just like Natalie Portman. I wanna be perrrfect. In every single way possible. The first thing you have to do is you have to make sure your face is very white. Because the lighter your skin, the more perfect you are. The darker your skin, the more trashy and disgusting and slave-like you’re gonna look.”

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
