Stay

“Do not feel ashamed to forgive and forget.”

“You can’t calm the storm so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.”

“Love those who love you when you have nothing to offer but your company.”

“If at first you don’t succeed, fix your ponytail and start again.”

Surround yourself with people who see your value, and remind you of it.

“I can do nothing for you but work on myself. You can do nothing for me but work on yourself.”

“The woman you are becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. Choose her over everything.”

One smile can start a friendship. One word can end a fight. One look can save a relationship. One person can change your life.

“So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me because I, too, am fluent in silence.”

“I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you.”
