“When we love ourselves especially deeply, we fill the void that we are often stuck waiting for others to fill instead. Your love is completely in your own hands.”

Respect yourself. Be careful with who you give your time, for you shouldn’t have to fight so hard to be in their life.

“Have you ever wanted to ask a question but didn’t because you knew in your heart that you wouldn’t be able to handle the answer?”

“Apply for that job. Date that person. Buy that plane ticket. Move to that city. Do all the things that scare you, because they’re worth it.”

It’s taken many rough days and nights, but I am proud of the person I’ve fought so hard to become.

You must grow without direction. The moment you try to control it is the moment it is no longer your true self.

“I can’t change where I come from or what I’ve been through, so why should I be ashamed of what makes me, me?”

“Don’t worry. Not ever. Why? Because it never solves anything. It does not change the outcome of what is going to happen, nor does it affect what has already occurred. It only puts more stress on your mind.”

“It’s not just other people we need to forgive. We also need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn’t do. All the things we should have done.”

“Nothing is quite as beautiful as someone who has survived losing everything and still has a tender heart.”

“Truth is, the best revenge is seeking none at all and investing that energy in your own health and progress, prioritising personal goals you’ve been neglecting, and working toward creating a passionate, prosperous and fulfilling future of your own.”
