Do things to make your day precious.

It brought attention to my own feelings, and the realization that I never knew what the future would bring so to keep an optimistic view of it, because who knows what today’s events will bring.

Often people become an addict and self destructive. Now the opposite of love is indifference and even worse is rejection and abuse, and I meet those people.

If God came in and said, I want you to be happy for the rest of your life, what would you do?

I wish medical schools helped us to analyze our healthy and unhealthy reasons for becoming doctors.

I’m so scared girls look at my breast implants and think, ‘To get boys, you need big boobs.’ I tell them, ‘Don’t get it done. Those fears go away. You develop other insecurities, but breasts aren’t one of them.’ I want to get them half-size.
