H.G. Wells: "Sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be."

Honor your emotions. They exist for a reason.

Never abandon yourself to keep the peace with someone else.

Be with people who like you for who you are; not what you have.

It’s okay to want things other people have; it is quite natural and we should want good things for ourselves. But we should not fool ourselves into thinking that other people have picture-perfect lives. Everyone struggles, everyone hurts, and everyone is enduring something that they probably won’t tell you about. Whatever picture people paint their life as, rest assured that any one life in all its parts is beautiful and dark, hopeful and weary, a blessing and an everyday battle. Focus on the good parts of your life and be grateful for your own set of problems because if you knew what everyone else was going through, you would probably still choose your own life.

Your flaws and all, you are still worthy of love.
