I LOVE Sugar. I'd already read most of these online at The Rumpus, but I still enjoyed the experience of re-reading them.

Sugar is so, so wise.

(If you're not familiar with Sugar, why not do yourself a favor and read her advice to her younger self? Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.)

And then read the whole book.
