“When all the dust is settled and all the crowds are gone, the things that matter are faith, family, and friends.”

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

“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” 

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

“The moment we cry in a film is not when things are sad but when they turn out to be more beautiful than we expected them to be.”

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

“There are better people in the world, do not let the worst do the worst to you, you deserve the best in life.”

A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.

“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”

“Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”

“Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong and act like you’re okay. Strong walls shake but never collapse.”

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.
