“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have
never been. Sleep alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick
shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back.
Say no whenever you don’t want to do something. Say yes  even if
everyone else around you disagrees…Decide if fitting in is more
important than finding out what you’re doing here…” Eve Ensler

Alone, Jacque Donaldson, C-print, 20x24, 2010

“I finally know the difference between pleasing and loving, obeying and respecting. It has taken me so many years to be okay with being different, and with being this alive, this intense.”- Eve Ensler
