“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You never know what it’s going to look like on the other side, but you’ll see it eventually if you keep your eyes open.”

“It's awkward and silent as I wait for you to say, what I need to hear now, your sincere apology. When you mean it, I'll believe it, if you text it I'll delete, let's be clear. Oh, I'm not coming back, you're taking 7 steps here...”

“Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.”

“The biggest moments of insecurity come when all self-confidence is lost and you feel like people are watching and judging. It should be the opposite.

“Remember what things make you special and embrace those because there are so many things that aren’t on the outside that are so important and people find so beautiful.”
