Conservative media has been unified and resolute in hammering the narrative that Nathan Philips, a Native American veteran, somehow provoked the boys [...].

Most of the headlines just basically talked about rich kids or influencers who went and got stuck on an island — to me, that felt like a very one-dimensional story. I was interested to see if there was something else there. I was interested in trying to put a human face on the story and take you on the journey, try to create something that felt more relatable. [I wanted to] help the audience understand [how] the people that actually were on the ground, that were working with Fyre, were experiencing this.

Over the past few years I’ve done things I would never have had the gumption to do when I was younger, like take a Beyoncé dance class, or use the word “gumption” in an article that other, much-cooler individuals will read.

It's ok. Sarah Lynn, you are calm, you are thin. Your skin is so soft it's like you murdered a baby and stole its skin. Your skin is murdered baby soft.

You know, sometimes I think I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me and now its all gone. And I'll never get it back in me. It's too late. Life is a series of closing doors, isn't it?

If every mountain overlooked a parallel scene, if every flower bloomed in uninspired ways, the Earth would not steal us of our breath. Use this as a lesson. Your eyes, your hands, your marvelous smile – those are all your unique contribution to the matchless beauty of nature. You are a stunning rarity; you don’t need to be fixed.

Embrace the true essence of Christmas - by embracing the gift and essence of life, itself.
