We Are More Than Our Problems. Even If Our Problem Is Our Own Behavior, The Problem Is Not Who We Are-it's What We Did. It's Okay To Have Problems. It's Okay To Talk About Problems-at Appropriate Times, And With Safe People. It's Okay To Solve Problems. And We're Okay, Even When We Have, Or Someone We Love Has A Problem. We Don't Have To Forfeit Our Personal Power Or Our Self-esteem. We Have Solved Exactly The Problems We've Needed To Solve To Become Who We Are.

There Are No Knights On White Horses, No Magical Grandmothers In The Sky Watching, Waiting To Rescue Us. Teachers May Come Our Way, But They Will Not Rescue. They Will Teach.
