“Why do you let these people get to you? You’re a diamond in the rough, Lottie, no matter how much crap the world piles on top of you, you emerge shining bright and with a heart of gold. That’s special. If I could wrap you up in a big safety blanket and shield you from everything I would, but just don’t let people who don’t know you make you change into something you’re not, okay? You’re perfect as you are”
