"Many parents make mistakes just trying to protect and to guide children into who they feel they should be.

That's your job as a parent."

"You cannot genuinely love somebody you need."

"I think we're getting so stuck in the PR of religion, or the bad PR of religion, that we're neglecting the journey of maybe trying to explore other options within religion; within spirituality."

"I love intimacy. I love feeling like somebody and I have this connection that they don't necessarily have with other people. I think that's so special. It's so beautiful. I think if we were all trying to cultivate that with each other, we would have much better relationships with each other, and it would shift our view on humanity."

QUOTABLES:

"In forgiveness, it's not a one size fits all and it's not a one size fix all."

"You don't have to honor every single experience that you've had in a way that you have to hold on to it. You can honor it also by releasing it. That's how we honor our dead, you release them."

"Sometimes, the person who doesn't forgive themselves isn't always the meek, mild, 'woe is me' person. Sometimes the person who doesn't forgive themselves as an asshole."

"For me, I feel like the first step in the healing process is to acknowledge what you learn from them. Because in every single experience, whether it was positive or negative, there's always something you learned."

"There's a difference between speaking your truth and talking to your experience, and bashing and dragging someone's name. And oftentimes, we've completely lost the right to even speak about this person because we have no idea who that person is anymore. Just because that's what they did and that's who they were five years ago, or two years ago, does not mean that's who they are now."
