“Sometimes you have to stop trying to control everything and let life happen the way it's supposed to, Tess. Even if it's not exactly the way you wanted.But what if it's not even a little like you wanted?Then you deal with it and keep going.”

“Sometimes you just have to let go of those who let go of you. You have to forget those who forgot you. You have to stop being the only one to care. Sometimes it's going to hurt to forget the ones you love, but sometimes its the only way to heal.”

“You shouldn't try to stop everything from happening. Sometimes you're supposed to feel awkward. Sometimes you're supposed to be vulnerable in front of people. Sometimes it's necessary because it's all part of you getting to the next part of yourself, the next day.”

“You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.”

“Life is not the way it's supposed to be, it's the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference”

“But sometimes you want things just because you think you're supposed to. And sometimes it's the things you never even knew you wanted that give your life the most meaning.”
