- Trust no one except your family. At the end of the day, your family will forever have you back. You could do a lot of stupid things but your family will never betray. If I could go back, I think I would seek advice from my family a lot more or tell them what was going on with me instead of pushing them away.
- Karma will come back and bite you in the butt. Sometimes I was so selfish, I did not realize that my actions could be the downfall of myself. Well I eventually learned…the hard way at least.
- God is good. Whenever something bad happened to me, I remember cursing at the sky and asking why god was so cruel to me. Little did I know, he had a plan for me and I need to trust him. God has good intentions. God is good. “I thank God for protecting me from what I thought I wanted and blessing me with what I didn’t know I needed”
- “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” Embrace the fear, the disappointments, the grief, the anxiety, the frustration and the sadness in your life. The more you try to fight these feelings the worst it's going to feel. Embrace it.
- Do not search for your other half because you are not a half. If the “love your life” does not treat you as an equal or with any respect. LEAVE HIM/HER. You are TOO young to be wasting your time. Also, “don’t chase men. Chase your goals, because they won’t wake up one morning and saying they don’t love you anymore”
- “Forgive yourself. Not just once. Again, and again, and again. As many times as it takes to find peace.”
- “It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you”
