“Positive feelings come from being honest about yourself and accepting your personality, and physical characteristics, warts and all; and, from belonging to a family that accepts you without question.”
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness. Tears come from the heart and not from the brain. To have felt too much is to end in feeling nothing. People keep telling me that life goes on, but to me that's the saddest part.
"Single means you're preparing for the arrival of a BETTER love. If you are not happy being single, you will never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life first, then share it. Being single gives you time to be by yourself, with yourself.”
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
"Rather than taking an easy route, taking a difficult route is more satisfying and interesting. Life is hard at times; life is easy at other times. It zig zags and spins round and round, it goes up and down. When all that is done, you'll probably smile and say, I lived a very fun life."
"There are people who would not like me no matter what I do. I used to be hurt by that before. But I started thinking differently. There's nothing I can do except to do my best"
"I think reaching the top is ambiguous in and of itself. Above the top is the sky, above that is the universe, and even above that there's going to be something else. I always want to be growing, higher than the sky and the universe."
