“Life is a bleak place. Sometimes you have to learn how to shoot first.”

“Sometimes you realize how strong of a person you are when you can make necessary changes in your life. And have no regrets because at that moment you realize if changes need to be made it wasn't good for you in the first place.”

“Not everyone gets a happily every after. Life is real and sometimes it's ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.”

“This was when I learned that you have to give up your life as you know it to get a new one: that sometimes you need to let go of everything you're clinging to and start over, whether because you've outgrown it or because it's not working anymore, or because it was wrong for you in the first place.”

“If you want to learn how to be happy, you have to know what is sadness first.”

“Not everything is going to go my way and not everyone gets a happily ever after. Life is real and sometimes it’s ugly and you just have to learn how to cope.”
