"I am enough. I am. You are too."
"If we’re going to continue to move people to keep living, we’re going to have to keep working."
"You don’t have to worry about how it will all work out. It will present itself to you without any effort on your part."
"I don’t remember the first 18 months after she died. I couldn’t tell you what I thought, did, or said, where I went, or what I wanted; I simply existed."
"This is not the time for goodbyes. This is the time for life."
"You are not fiction. You are the greatest story ever told."
"I keep living so that, one day, we’ll live in a society that doesn’t need to be fixed. I keep living so that we have fewer last blog posts and more Leelahs in the world."
"If you do not keep living, there will be something that matters missing from the world."
For anyone who knows someone who is struggling but doesn't know what to do.
"When we come together for this sort of conversation, when we choose to be vulnerable with our stories and to invest in the stories of other people, we have the power to see lives change and people stay alive."
"Our hope is that this statement speaks to you, that no matter what your day or week or life has been, you will choose to keep living."
