My feelings are real and valid.

I’m going to do what I want to do. I’m going to be who I really am. And I’m going to figure out what that is.

You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

Some people put walls up, not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down.

I was an observer. I liked to listen rather than openly express myself. This trait is something that I’ve retained over the years.

We touch other people’s lives simply by existing.

Why is it that you search for your own beauty in the eyes of others?

Does everyone secretly feel lost? Sort of shoved into a corner alone?… Have you ever felt like your home wasn’t home anymore? If you were me, where would you run?

How do you say goodbye to someone who isn’t exactly gone?

Focus and begin to think about all the things that are wonderful about You. Look for the positives in You. As you focus on those things, the law of attraction will show you more great things about You. You attract what you think about. All you have to do is begin with one prolonged thought of something good about You, and the law of attraction will respond by giving you more like thoughts.

“Promise Yourself To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

Do not wait for something special to happen that will give you what you want. A few of us are very lucky, but most of us have to work and work hard for what we want. So get up in the morning, take a deep breath and go do your thing. It’s the only way.

We are all still a child inside. Growing up means overcoming being that child for just a moment, pulling yourself together, and not do what’s best for you, but what’s best for everyone else.

I’ve come to realize that sometimes, what you love most is what you have to fight the hardest to keep.

May the stars carry your sadness away, May the flowers fill your heart with beauty, May hope forever wipe away your tears, And, above all, may silence make you strong.
