Sometimes, you cry yourself to sleep at night and then the next day, you still show up to do what needs to be done. That thing that makes you show up the next dayโ€ฆdonโ€™t take that for granted. Thatโ€™s how powerful you are. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโ™ฅ๏ธ

Sometimes, I just want someone to hug me and say:

โ€œI know itโ€™s hard; youโ€™re going to be okay. Hereโ€™s a coffee. And 5 million dollars.โ€

Has anyone tried unplugging the United States and plugging it back in? ๐Ÿ‘€

Do you ever wonder how many people have loved you and never told you?

Being wanted feeds the ego.
Being valued feeds the soul.

Learn to spend some time alone. It is part of the art of loving. When you can be alone, you can then be with others without using them as a means to escape.

Have you ever asked people for help & they did NOT help you. This forced you to dig deep within yourself, and you found strength & resources you never knew you had? Sometimes, itโ€™s the absence of help that propels you to grow & help yourself.

Apparently, learning is boring unless itโ€™s gossip. Teachers should just start every lecture like: โ€œOmg, did you hear about Venn Diagrams?!โ€๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿพโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿซข

Dear Reader:

If you canโ€™t love someone, please donโ€™t hurt them?

Thanks. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

The thing about bullying writers:

You end up being our inspiration to write interesting characters in our books. You can be the person who loses all ten fingers by chapter 3.โœ๐Ÿพ

Our society doesnโ€™t know what to do with a woman who isnโ€™t seeking its approval.

Have you ever noticed that, most of the times, a person who has nothing will help you faster than a person who has everything?

Someone somewhere is still discussing the old you because they donโ€™t have access to the new you.

As your life changes, so will your circle.

You become very dangerous when you learn how to control your feelings.

I just want to see what happens if I donโ€™t give up. Now 42 pounds lighter (a.k.a 19 Kilograms down) and the best part is that I feel fitter and happier. Iโ€™m smiling againโ€”and I mean it.๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Sometimes, you are not invited or included because you steal attention. Not everyone is strong enough to thrive in your glow.

If you run from the work, you might as well hide from the money.
