Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient.
Participate in your own dreams, don’t just say what you want or complain about what you don’t have.
You are beautiful. Know this. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying. You are beautiful.
If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.
Don't confuse poor decision-making with destiny. Own your mistakes. It’s ok; we all make them. Learn from them so they can empower you!
