16. "White Privilege means that we don’t face some of the harsh realities as other races. It doesn’t mean that white people have everything in life handed to them. It doesn’t mean white people don’t have to put in a great amount of effort and hard work to achieve their dreams. It means that we don’t have to consider “race” as a factor."

17. There is no such thing as "reverse racism" because "by definition, racism is the systematic oppression of someone of a different race based on prejudice against the color of someone’s skin. Racism is rooted in institutionalized power and discrimination. Therefore, the people who are not oppressed and retain power cannot suffer from racism."

18. How I Learned to Stop Being the "Chill Girl" and Start Being Authentic.
"In the name of chill-ness, how many of us have become acquainted with the acrobatics needed to avoid unsavory labels: a “clingy” romantic partner, an unfriendly coworker, a difficult woman. Not taking up too much space or making a fuss is the mandate and, frankly, it’s awful. We are each so deliciously complex and messy; what better way to pay homage to these multiplicities than to feel, to express, and to carve out space to navigate as our purest self?

I’ve invested in you, and you’re still dodging commitment like it’s your national sport? It’s chill; far be it from me to enforce boundaries where my self-worth and general wellness are prioritized. Perhaps the most exhausting part of the charade was time spent watching myself through the lens of others; contorting myself into something more palatable for the next person; shouldering guilt and expectations that weren’t mine to bear; and swallowing discomfort when I wanted to bellow, “I’m not okay with this!”"
