“Behind every strong person lies a broken child who had to learn to stand up and take no shit.”

“The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.”

“You cannot make someone understand a message they are not ready to receive.”

“The struggle you’re in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.”

“I want to inspire people. I want people to look at me and say “because of you I didn’t give up.”

“No one is afraid of heights, they are afraid of the fall. No one is afraid of the dark, they are afraid of what’s in it. No one is afraid of love, they are afraid of the broken heart.”

“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”

“The words you speak become the house you live in.”

“Silence doesn’t always mean you have nothing to say. It may mean you realize that words aren’t always necessary.”

“I’ve always liked quiet people: You never know if they’re dancing in a daydream or if they’re carrying the weight of the world.”

“The way you treat yourself is the standard you set for others.”

“Have the courage to live the way you want to.”

“And then, when you think you’re falling, remember that there’s someone who will catch you.”
