This is that time. This is that place.

Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is just another stepping stone to greatness.

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

Anger is useful only to a certain point. After that, it becomes rage, and rage will make you careless.

When you find yourself drowning in self-hate, you have to remind yourself that you weren’t born feeling this way. That at some point in your journey, some person or experience sent you the message that there was something wrong with who you are, and you internalized those messages and took them on as your truth. But that hate isn’t yours to carry, and those judgments aren’t about you. And in the same way that you learned to think badly of yourself, you can learn to think new, self-loving and accepting thoughts. You can learn to challenge those beliefs, take away their power, and reclaim your own. It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen over night. But it is possible. And it starts when you decide that there has to be more to life than this pain you feel. It starts when you decide that you deserve to discover it.

I’ve found that growing up means being honest. About what I want. What I need. What I feel. Who I am.

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

You don’t always win your battles, but it’s good to know you fought.

Your flaws are perfect for the heart that is meant to love you.

People can be broken but what’s broken can be mended. What’s hurt can be healed and no matter how dark things can get the sun is always going to rise up again.

Do not mock a pain that you haven’t endured.

hide me from the world, let me breathe.

I know. I’m very hard to talk to. I realize that.

Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
