"You are all things. Denying, rejecting, judging or hiding from any aspect of your total being creates pain and results in a lack of wholeness"
About this Quote
The verb stack - denying, rejecting, judging, hiding - is doing the work. It’s not merely “having” flaws that harms you; it’s the labor of managing them. Each word suggests a different defense mechanism: denial as erasure, rejection as exile, judgment as a harsh internal critic, hiding as public-relations strategy. Read through the lens of celebrity culture, it’s also a warning about image maintenance: when your livelihood depends on being legible and likable, self-censorship becomes a full-time job, and the bill comes due as anxiety, shame, or numbness.
“Wholeness” here is less a blissed-out ideal than a practical kind of integration: letting contradictory impulses coexist without immediately prosecuting them. The subtext is quietly anti-perfectionist. Page isn’t excusing harmful behavior; she’s arguing that disowning your capacity for anger, envy, desire, or fear doesn’t eliminate it - it drives it underground, where it tends to act out. In a culture that rewards curation, her line insists the real flex is radical honesty: not self-indulgence, but self-knowledge.
