Sometimes you have to choose between pretending everything is alright or admitting that it's not.
Life is full of moments that are hard to define. Goodbye, for instance. How do you know when you'll see someone for the last time?
It's amazing how much one person can change the way you see the world.
Finding someone you can really connect with is like winning the lottery. It happens so rarely, but when it does, it's life-changing.
You can't control how other people feel about you. The only thing you can control is how you react to it.
Sometimes you have to let go of the life you had planned to make room for the life that's waiting for you.
The best kind of friendships are the ones that make you feel like you've known each other forever, even if you've only just met.
Love is scary and beautiful at the same time. It has the power to heal and the power to break you.
You have to take risks if you want to find out who you're meant to be. Playing it safe will only keep you stuck.
Sometimes it's hard to find the right words to say, but silence can speak volumes if you're willing to listen.
Life is a series of choices, and each choice you make brings you closer to the person you're becoming.
You don't have to change who you are to fit into someone else's idea of perfection. You are already enough.
