“I’m an American for marriage equality. I believe that love comes in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. So whether you’re LGBT or straight, your love is valid, beautiful, and an incredible gift.”

I feel beautiful. I feel strong, and I feel confident in who I am.

We do the best we can in life, we take things one day at a time and sometimes we all just need a simple reminder of that.

You don’t have to wait till the beginning of a new year to make resolutions for yourself. It’s all about loving and taking care of the only body you will ever have. Cherish it, love it, embrace it. Because when you do. It begins to show.

Go ahead and believe that no one shines brighter than you. Become amazing, and be happy.

Never be ashamed of your problems, your body, yourself. You are worth life.

Sometimes it’s dramatic, but mental health, as a whole, has to become mainstream.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks as long as you’re happy.

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, not lifestyle choices.

It’s gonna be okay, no matter how hard your rock bottom is, you can rise above it and you can come back.

Always remember, actions speak louder than words. No one’s perfect, but we can all strive to be better people.

Sometimes being afraid can show more strength than being fearless.

I’m a lightweight better be careful what you say With every word I’m blown away You’re in control of my heart.

Hearts can break and never make a sound.

Love yourself for who you are and just keep going.

I’m not a model – I have curves. I find things that accentuate my body, a woman’s body, and I always wear things that I feel comfortable in.

Everyday is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.

As far as beauty is concerned, in order to be confident we must accept that the way we look and feel is our own responsibility.

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn’t somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.

Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro – and beautiful!

You’re an artist. Beauty grows in you.

Because one thing God gave us- and I’m afraid it’s at times a little too much- is freewill. Freedom to choose. I believe he gave us everything needed to build a beautiful world, if we choose wisely.

Inside each one of us is a beautiful flower garden. This is the garden of the soul. With each lesson we learn, the garden grows. As we learn together, our individual gardens form a tranquil paradise.

I’ve never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I’m here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.

Wherever you go, go with inspiration and aspiration. Whatever you do, do with love and concern. Whomever you see, see with purity’s beauty And responsibility’s glory.
