Convincing yourself Quote by Brandon Sanderson

“I think the trick is convincing yourself that you deserve the reactions you get. You can wear the court's dresses, Vin, but make them your own. Don't worry that you aren't giving people what they want. Give them who you are, and let that be enough.” quote by Brandon Sanderson
