"The idea that we are the only thing standing in our way - that positive personal change is always within reach, that change is equally available to everyone, as long as they are willing to work hard - is such a pervasive message, so taken for granted in our popular culture that it's really more than just an idea, it's a belief: adopt the right personal habits, the right diet, the right life hacks...and the change you desire will surely be yours"--

"As I sat down to write this chapter about the use of life story methods for capturing cultural-historical aspects of LGBTQ+ identity development, I was transported back in time... It was a hot summer day in 2004. I had travelled back from the "big city" where I was attending university to visit my family. This was my first summer away from home.
