“To me, beauty is natural beauty. If you’re naturally yourself, you’re beautiful.”

You don’t have to defend or explain your decisions to anyone. It’s your life. Live it without apologies.

“We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim.”

“If you’re in the luckiest one percent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 percent.”

“Sometimes life doesn’t give you what you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve so much more.” 

“The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.”

“Crying does not indicate that you are weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you are alive.”

“Home is the place, where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”  

“Don’t lose hope. When the sun goes down, the stars come out.”

“A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.”

“A friend who understands your tears is much more valuable than a lot of friends who only know your smile.”

“Characterize people by their actions, and you will never be fooled by their words.”
