“Forgiveness is almost the hardest thing that you could ever do.”

Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful and magical person that you are.

Don’t let others box you into their idea of what they think you should be.

Don’t fall on their level. Be better.

The heart never forgets what makes it happy. Happiness helps the wounds heal into scars.

Fight hard the battle of life and take the challenges with courage, determination, and perseverance.

Our perception is the lens we see the world through.

No one stays forever. Just learn to be happy alone.

The idea of feeling great at all times is purely fictional for a simple reason: we get bored of the same things, same feelings, same environments pretty quickly. If everything was always nice and great, you’d get depressed.

Be with the people who have good intentions.

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance.

Life is just another beast you were meant to tame, and there is no one better for the job, other than you.

Never outsource your happiness to someone else. Derive it from within by enjoying your own company.

Just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean I’m Not hurt.

If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.

If everything is perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Life is not so much what you accomplish as what you overcome.

You search, you break your heart, your back, your brain, and then-and only then-it is handed to you.

Don’t feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

I don’t know if I ever told you this before, but you’re the only one I ever waited for this long.

We have a good time together, even when we’re not together.

My dogs are there to teach me to take a break. They’re there to remind me that there’s more to life than work.

Understanding our history is one of many ways to break the cycle of racial injustice in this country. ⁣

We each need to find our own inspiration. Sometimes it is not easy.

If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.
