Being sick allows you to check out of life. Getting well again means you have to check back in. It is absolutely crucial that you feel ready to check back into life because you feel as though something has changed from the time before you were sick. Whatever it was that made you feel insecure, less than, or pressured to live in a way that was uncomfortable to you has to change before you want to go back there and start over.

Supermodels are over, and the new picture girl has become the television actress.
Just look at all the awards shows now. It has turned into a catwalk. You have to be wearing a certain designer, a certain dress, and everyone's critiquing.
People might find me attractive, but it's also my job to prove that I can be intelligent.
I want young people to see me and think you can be feminine and smart and successful, all at the same time.
I never, ever, restrict food, and I will never go on a diet ever again.
Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.
I have a very, very healthy relationship with food in that I eat whatever I want, whenever I want. I never restrict quantities or types of food.
Thanks so much, everybody, for making gay marriage legal, thank you for everything you've done-I'm just going to walk through that door
When you have the paparazzi hiding in the bushes outside your home, the only thing you can control is how you respond publicly.
Every animal has its own intelligence and sensitivities. They're all lovely, worthwhile, and deserving of our respect.
