Summary

This quote suggests that while love can be uplifting and inspiring, it also has the power to hold us back or hinder our progress. Love can be both a source of motivation and a barrier, as it often requires sacrifices and compromises. It implies that love is a contradictory force, giving us wings to soar but also keeping us grounded or restricting us in some way. Ultimately, love is a complex and multidimensional experience that can simultaneously empower and constrain us.

If you don't feel you have any choice in a situation, self-esteem and confidence plummet. But once you understand that you do have a choice, self-esteem will improve. You aren't a helpless victim anymore. You decide how you deal with a situation. You aren't just reacting to life; you're creating your life.

Queer little twists go into the making of an individual. To supress them all and follow clock and calendar and creed until the individual is lost in the neutral grey of the host is to be less than true to our inheritance.... Life, that gorgeous quality of life, is not accomplished by following another man's rules.
