Quote of the Day
“Please do not twist yourself into shapes to please. Don't do it. If someone likes that version of you, that version of you that is false and holds back, then they actually just like that twisted shape”
“A man was once told by the oracle that his dead father wanted him to sacrifice a goat for him. But the man said to the oracle, ‘Go and ask my dead father if he ever owned a fowl when he was alive.”
