"Cutting negative people from my life does not mean I hate them, it simply means I respect me."
"Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
"Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted."
"To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, its society who’s ugly."
"If you don't love me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best."
