Kind to myself

"You cannot make someone love you. You can only make yourself someone who can be loved."
-Derek Gamba

And I have butterflies:) Own your decisions. Own them well.

"I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.”

“Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are consistent with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.”

“Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can, paradoxically, make yourself a happier and more productive person.”

"Sometimes paper is the only thing that will listen to you."

"No matter the consequence those who are honest with themselves get further in life."

"You don't realize how strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment."

“Confidence is the inner voice that says you are becoming what you are capable of being.”

“The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.”

“Do you ever just sit down and start writing? And everything is going through your head just pours onto the paper. And when you reread it, it doesn't make sense, but you know its meaning. Because your mind jumps around so much and when you just let go, you lose all control. All of your heart, your soul, is on that paper and you become so vulnerable to the world.”

“Sometimes in the winds of change, we find our true direction.”

“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.”

*May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone*
