Just as she is done apoligising who she is, I have to stop too. It’s such an egotistical view of an egotistical person just HOPING for more intention. Instagram and videos are killing purity.

Amelia is so inspiring. I feel like I also avoid a lot of things by just forcing myself to accept pain, and I’ve just kind of normalized it for myself. Her journey is helping me to realize that I can’t do this sustainably, and that I am not really happy doing it. Thank you so much for sharing this.
