I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

I had no bad moment in my relationship with Dortmund. Not one second.

I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
