“If your meals consistently revolve around corpse multiple times daily, you might become one sooner than you planned.”

“Picture yourself when you were five. in fact, dig out a photo of little you at that time and tape it to your mirror. How would you treat her, love her, feed her? How would you nurture her if you were the mother of little you? I bet you would protect her fiercely while giving her space to spread her itty-bitty wings. she’d get naps, healthy food, imagination time, and adventures into the wild. If playground bullies hurt her feelings, you’d hug her tears away and give her perspective. When tantrums or meltdowns turned her into a poltergeist, you’d demand a loving time-out in the naughty chair. From this day forward I want you to extend that same compassion to your adult self.”

“There's no need to wait for the bad things and bullshit to be over. Change now. Love now. Live now. Don't wait for people to give you permission to live, because they won't.”

“Life is just to sweet to be bitter.”

“BELEIVE IN YOUR SELF AT ALL TIMES”

“There has to be a moment when you choose happiness, when you stand up, raise your face towards the sun, and just grab joy and put it in a place where no one can ever take it away from you.”

“Not going back is fine.Not going back but occasionally visiting might be best.Not going back but remembering so you don’t see the same view twice.Not going back so you can turn a new page, write a new chapter, develop an entire new list.Not going back so you can stretch and grow and see yourself in a light that you never knew existed.Not going back so that you can fly. Fly. ”
