Every day I become a little bit more like my mother. And I couldn't be prouder!

Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

I don't know where I'm going from here but I promise it won't be boring. - David Bowie

If you sense there must be more, there is more. - Alan Cohen

Don't judge my path is you haven't walked my journey

As you breathe right now, another person takes his last so STOP COMPLAINING and learn to live with what you have.

"it's impossible," said pride "it's risky," said experience "it's pointless," said reason "give it a try," said the heart

I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again. - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Let us sit here you & I just a little while longer for right at this moment we have all that we will ever need

Those who love you are not fooled by the mistakes you have made or the dark images you hold of yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused. - Alan Cohen

Dear Human: You've got it all wrong. You didn't come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you will return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of... messing up. Often. You didn't come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering.

Being someone's first love may be great, but to be their last is beyond perfect.

Soulmates? I think they exist. Just not always romantically. I think there are certain people you will meet in your life who you just connect with more then anyone else and you just know it isn't a typical thing and you understand each other perfectly. And this person won't always be your "significant other." I mean it could be your friend or sibling or parent or teacher or the person that you're dating or whoever, it could be just about anyone you've ever interacted with.

Be at peace, not in pieces

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, you can let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

It is always darkest before the dawn.

The best thing to hold on to in life is each other. - Audrey Hepburn

I'm currently in this long and confusing process of figuring out who I am and what I want to do in my life.

We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.

"She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time." -Stephen Chbosky

"I can't promise you that I'll be here for the rest of your life. But I can promise I'll love you for the rest of mine."

Sometimes on the way to a dream you get lost and find a better one

Truth us, I miss you. All the time, every second, every minute, every house, every day.

People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but they will always show you. Pay attention.

I'm going to make everything around me beautiful - that will be my life. - Elise de Wolfe

Sometimes the strongest people are the ones who love beyond all faults, cry behind closed doors and fights battles that nobody knows about.

I love that moment. When you are on a long car ride, or reading. And you completely zone out, you forget your troubles, everything around you. You are focused on that one thing, you are content, and everything seems peaceful...

I hope in this year to come you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You'er doing things you've never doe before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough or that it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work, or family of life. Whatever it is that you're scared of doing, DO IT. Make your mistakes, next year and forever. - Neil Gaiman.

It makes me laugh when people tell me I'm going to regret my tattoos when I'm older. Yeah, when my health is deteriorating, and I struggle to get around, I'm sure the first thought I'll have is 'Damn, I wish I didn't get that tattoo that reminds me of the good days.' Yeah, right.

She's the girl that believes that what goes around comes around. The one that hopes for a better day. The one that won't give up on you; She's the girl that's unlike the rest. The one that spent her days smiling, and her nights crying. She's the girl that would love to be loved. The one that looks so damn strong, but feels so weak. She's the girl that picks herself up every time she falls.
