• Everything has beauty, just not everybody sees it

  

  

  I don’t understand how you can smile all day long, but cry yourself to sleep at night. How pictures never change, but the people in them do. How you can love so innocently, but it can turn into anger so quickly. How your best friend can become your worst enemy. Or when your worst enemy turns into your best friend. How forever turns into a few short months that you’d do almost anything to get back. How you can let go of something you once said you couldn’t live without. How even though you know letting go of something is best for you, it hurts just the same. How the people who once wanted to spend every second with you, think a few minutes of their time is too much time to spare. How people make promises, and bear their souls to someone despite knowing how common it is for promises to be broken. How people can erase you from their lives ‘cause it’s just easier then working things out.

  

  Cinderella didn’t need to take off her dress to get her Prince Charming and neither do you.

  
  

  Don’t ever worry about things that don’t worry about you. 

  

  You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, you can’t love someone while messing with another. No, you can’t win a war that you’re fighting with your brother. You wanna have peace? You gotta love one another.

  
  

  There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with the people who make you laugh so hard you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.

  

  Confidence is the only key. I know a lot of people who aren’t traditionally ‘beautiful’ – not symmetrical or perfect-bodied or perfect-skinned. But none of that matters because all that shines through is their confidence. I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.

  
  

  To the ones who chose to stab me in the back, stay fake. You always were.

  
  

  You can be happy tomorrow. You can be happy when you get through your list of things to do. You can be happy when you meet the one. You can be happy when you get the right job. You can be happy when you get that raise. You can be happy when you stop buying the things you need and start buying the things you want. You can be happy when you retire. You can be happy when the weather suits you. You can be happy on plan. You can be happy in the rain. Or you can stop reading this, take a deep breath, and be happy right now.

  
  

  Even the prettiest flower will wilt one day. It’s nature’s way of teaching us that nothing lasts forever.

  

  Stop thinking you need people – get it out of your head. Just live your life, beautifully. Make yourself happy because you’re never promised that you’ll find someone who can do that for you. & even if you do find that person – you could loose them. Stop depending on anyone else in your life to determine your happiness and start looking in the mirror at the most important one. Just be patient, & in time you’ll come across someone that feels right – & without even knowing it you will have picked someone who compliments you, rather than trying to find someone who completes you.

  
  

  Don’t forget to pray tonight, because God didn’t forget to wake you up this morning.

  
  

  Being beautiful is more than how many boys you can get to look at you, or how much makeup you can wear. It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the heart that you have, and what makes you special. It’s about those little quirks that make you, you. It’s about going against the flow, and living out what you honestly think. And that is a beautiful thing.

  
  

  I can’t promise you a perfect relationship, but what I can promise you is that if you’re trying, I’m staying.

  
  

  You were always a hot subject, always on people’s lips. I had you there once. That was an even hotter subject. People always seemed to have something to say about us, or maybe it was just about you, you engaging with me. After all, I was just me, not up to your typical slutty standards, but I was made to believe I was better. I don’t think that anymore.

  

  Remember when you were little? Your daddy had you talked into the fact that you were a princess & deserved nothing but the best – he wasn’t just telling you that to make you feel special at the time. He wanted you to hold onto that bit of information for the rest of your life, & now is the time to start remembering.

  
  

  Never be dependent on anyone in this world because even your shadow leaves you when you are in the darkness.

  
  

  Did you know the heart has no pain receptors? So the next time someone breaks your heart, move on. Your pain is just an illusion, a temporary psychological disturbance that you have to overcome in short, it’s all in the mind.

  
  

  I’m a bitch so get used to it. Because trust me, I am going to say what I want to say, do what I want to do, and be whoever the fuck I want to be. And nobody said you had to like it.

  
  

  Sometimes you need to be alone. Sometimes you just don’t want to be comforted because you need the chance to take it in. All that has been, all the pain left behind. The best cure is time on your own to analyze, time to pull yourself together again, and time to see that all you ever wanted is now nothing but a fading memory. Time to let it go and time to start again.

  
  

  You & your rumors have two things in common.. You’re both fake, and you both get around.

  
  

  We’re just afraid, period. Our fear is free floating. We’re afraid this isn’t the right relationship, or we’re afraid it is. We’re afraid they won’t like us, or we’re afraid they will. We’re afraid of failure or we’re afraid of success. We’re afraid of dying young or growing old. We’re more afraid of life than we are death.

  
  

  This is failure. It’s that moment when you realize that a choice you made, or something you did, has fully changed the course of your life. But what matters even more than this truth is what you do choose to do once you know it. The tendency may be to curl up in the fetal position and wait for things to improve. But if you can somehow manage to take a breath and look around you, you might just spot another path you hadn’t seen before. It may not be easy to walk, especially the beginning. But all that really matters is that it’s there.

  

  Change is a funny thing. We’re never quite sure what we’re becoming, or why. Then, one day we look at ourselves and wonder who we are and how we got there.

  
  

  Even when life hits you hard, it still moves on. You need to, too..

  
  

  If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: The past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn’t mean anything… All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?

  
  

  Don’t waste time with a boy who is ‘so sure’ you’re always going to be there. Find the boy who stays on pins and needles when he’s around you; who’s afraid that if he smiles the wrong way, that you might leave.

  

  The best advice I ever got was from my mother. She said to me one day; “Never follow your head, darling. The head thinks with logic, and logic has no place in true love”.

  
  

  If only I could unfuck you…

  
  

  Kiss slowly, love deeply, and forgive quickly. Life is too short for you to be disappointed, any longer. You live for every memory and experience you create.

  

  You have to get hurt. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re showing the world who’s the boss.

  
  

  If I woke up from a coma and Channing Tatum told me he was my husband, I wouldn’t question it.

  

  There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself. Who knows she’s capable of anything she puts her mind to. There’s a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path. Who isn’t thrown off by obstacles along the way. There’s a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences. Who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and go on.
