“Love is the easy part; it's the living without the love you need is hard.”

“Love is not part time and its not conditional. I learned this from my mom.”

“Is life worth living simply because you live, or is it worth more if you make life happen?”

“The fact is it happened. It's over now. I do not live my life constantly wishing that I could change the past.”

“There are moments in which all of us need to have a backbone and feel that we have the right to say no to adults if we believe they are doing the wrong thing. You must find your voice and not be afraid to speak up.”

“I enjoy life so much more now, and I try hard to appreciate each and every day, but deep down I am still afraid it will be taken away.”

“We live in a world where we rarely speak out and when someone does, often nobody is there to listen.”
