"It feels like a bit of a clich, but people say it all the time because it's true: I found healthy, lasting relationships so much more easily once I knew myself and was no longer bending to fit what I thought the other person wanted. Looking back, I really feel for the younger version of myself who was trying to find my own identity through my partners. No one can do that but you! (Then again, I was never fortunate enough to be carted off by a handsome fey king — but we all know even the fey kings worth having appreciate a self-assured partner!)." — Carissa Broadbent, author of the Crowns of Nyaxia series
