I am a feminist. I reject wholeheartedly the way we are taught to perceive women. The beauty of women, how a woman should act or behave. Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft-spoken and loud, all at once. There is something mind-controlling about the way we're taught to view women.

Bare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that you’re proud of instead of something that you’re ashamed of.

---

If you're a strong female, you don't need permission.

---

Some of us wear the mask prouder than others.

---

Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are.

---

To everyone who says this is wrong to feel like this say, 'I was born this way baby.

---

Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.

---

Don't be a drag. Just be a queen.

---

If you don't have any shadows, you're not standing in the light.

---

It's always wrong to hate, but it's never wrong to love.
