“To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.”

“The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it …”

When you cut off….

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

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

“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.”

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. (Pele)

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen you may learn something new.”

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

To the world, you are a mother, to your family you are the world.

“Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.”

There are friends, there is family, and then there are friends that become family.
