“Life inspires me. Life is unfair, unkind and unforeseeable. It knocks you down when you least expect it.”

“Life can be unfair and unkind, but sometimes we just have to let go and let fate take over.”

“Sometimes when life hits you with too much, it makes you stronger and you learn from it. I know where I want to go while some of my friends don't. Life has brought me maturity. I make my decisions based on who I don't want to be, rather than whom everyone else wants me to be. I always want to be better. It took me time to see this, but it's true.”

“Life's hard and when you know there are ways to drown it out, it's hard to stay on the right path. It's a constant struggle. For a long time, I did it by myself.”

“You can't walk through life using someone else's plan.”

“Little girls dream about growing up and living in a big house with a gorgeous husband and a pink plastic convertible. It’s not until much later in life that you realize what really matters. Love isn't about what you have or who you know. It’s about how you earn what you have and how you treat those you love. The material things don’t matter when your heart is full of joy and contentment.”

“When you find someone you truly love, nothing else matters.”
