All quotes βI have very supportive parents who said, 'Go and do what you want to do. Home is always here for you, and if you don't like it out there, come back.

Though designed as a mere convenience, clothing sizes establish an unintended norm, an ideal from which deviations seem like flaws. There's nothing like a trip to the dressing room to convince a woman - fat, thin, or in between - that she's a freak.
