“There's no continuum. Current claims and hopes for progress in models for making computers intelligent are like the belief that someone claiming a tree is making progress toward reaching the moon.”

“It’s funny how when our heart is broken, we think we can just will it to be unbroken. Like if we just tried harder or put forth more effort, we can somehow un- break it and heal ourselves. We would never do this with broken bones or broken objects–we would splint them, cast them, rebuild them, call in the experts. Yet we shame ourselves for our inability to fuse together shards of ourselves without doing the work and call- ing for help. I think this does a huge disservice to our hearts. We deserve to be cared for at a time when we feel broken. We deserve to be wrapped in warmth and support. We deserve to be mended.”

“Maybe it’s not that they cannot love you—maybe it’s that they cannot even see the depths of your being. When someone doesn’t love you, don’t take this as an indicator of your lack of worth or a comment on what you deserve. It’s very likely that this person simply can’t see all that you are. This is not an invitation for you to try to help them see you. This is simply a reminder that for each person who cannot see and appreciate you, there will be someone out there who can.”

“Those who are offended by your self-love have a stake in you not loving yourself. You are so much easier to manipulate and mistreat when you don’t like yourself. It’s easier for others to walk all over you when you don’t realize what you deserve and when you don’t re- gard yourself highly. Those who are offended by your self-love know that it’s harder for them to get their way with you. It’s harder for them to speak to you unkindly, take advantage of you, and use you. They know you’ll stick around if you don’t see why you should leave. They can continue to hurt you. Put you down. Step on you to lift themselves higher. This is the only reason someone wouldn’t want you to love yourself. Those who love you want you to love you too.”

“Seek a love that lets you love you too. A love that gives you room to be, just as you are. Seek a love that only grows the more you love yourself. One that isn’t scared of your loyalty and devotion to you. You deserve a love that sees only benefits in your healing. And which cheers at the sight of you thriving. A love that knows your love for yourself doesn’t take away your love for them. You should want for a love so self-assured that it does not feel threatened. One that doesn’t ask you to hide or bury yourself. A love that reminds you to love yourself, even on the days you’ve forgotten how.”

“The beautiful thing about the emptiness left behind by those who walked away is that it will give you room to grow, expand, and breathe. You can fill it with what- ever you like. You can choose what will move into that space and what replaces the things it used to house. You can leave it vacant for a time and teach yourself not to fear the hollow, but rather to embrace it. Take your time to fill it. Every single thing that falls into every single place of your life should be intentional.”

“Your healing belongs only to you. You are not healing for anyone other than yourself. Not to get someone back. Not to show someone what they’re missing. Not to prove anything to anybody. You are healing for you. So you can finally feel some serenity in your life. So you free up room to savor everything this world has to offer. So you can be present in your own glory. You are healing to access the part of you that can love again, exist again, smile again. You are healing for you. So that you may never again give your best to someone who doesn’t want good for you. So that you know better than to hand out love to every single person except yourself. You are healing so that the next time you walk through the dark, you will have faith that you’ll catch the light again.”

“You will not always feel like you don't belong. There is a place in this world for you and there is a place in this life for you. No matter how much you feel like you shouldn't be here, you should. No matter how much you feel like you will never be wanted, you will. You won't feel lost and displaced forever. You will find the friends who are meant to bring you happiness. You will find the people who will love you the way you deserve. You will find love in yourself that is greater and brighter than anything you could have dreamed of. You will find the simple pleasures that remind you how good it feels to be here. And you will find the great big joys that make you feel alive. You are not here by accident. You belong here and I promise, you will find your place.”
