anything/everything.


they said "you can be anything," and we heard, "you have to be everything."

this line comes from Courtney Martin's book Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters, and it's such a great reminder. it feels like a huge relief, a friendly reminder, someone patting me on the back. we absolutely do not have to be everything, and that is so important to remember.

you can be one thing, or two things, or thirty things. but don't put a number on it, because numbers invite comparison. do your thing, no matter what it looks like.
