Self-Love
There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else’s terms.— Jeanette Winterson

Why This Quote Matters
Jeanette Winterson had a way of saying clearly what most of us only feel vaguely. This quote touches on self-love — one of the things we return to again and again, at different points in life, and find something new each time.
The best quotes don't tell you what to think. They give you a moment of recognition — that feeling of yes, exactly that. Read it slowly. Notice what it stirs in you. Then, if it feels right, save it somewhere you'll see it again.
Great words have a way of finding you at exactly the right moment. If this one found you today, that might be reason enough to sit with it a little longer.
