WORDS OF WISDOM FROM A DIME STORE DIAMOND

“What I want is the same thing everyone wants, the same thing you want- to hurl myself into this world and trust that it will catch me. That we all belong, and we’ll all find the places and the people we’ll belong to. I know we all have different magic inside us, and it’s up to you to figure out what yours might be. Maybe your magic is looking fabulous, maybe it’s organizing a protest, maybe it’s making a zine or starting a band or helping your friends’ band go on their first tour.

Take your inspiration and let it lead you out into the world, into your big amazing genius life. Voices in your head, echoes of people trying to hold you down- tell them to fuck off. You’re perfect the way you are. You don’t need to change anything but the world, so get to it.”

-Beth Ditto
