I recently watched To The Bone, the Netflix movie about one girl's battle with anorexia. This quote by Keanu Reeve's character (Dr. Beckham) towards the end may feel trite or cliche to some (as it did to Ellen in the story), but it really resonated with me:
This idea you have, that there's a way to be safe, it's childish and cowardly. It stops you from experiencing anything, including anything good. ... Stop waiting for life to be easy. Stop hoping for somebody to save you. You don't need another person lying to you. Things don't all add up, but you are resilient. Face some hard facts and you could have an incredible life.
