"The mind knows the truth when your heart denies what it feels. When you don't feel safe to let people in, it is because you're not ready to deal with the pain of honesty."
"Sometimes the best and worst times of your life can coincide. It is a talent of the soul to discover the joy in pain—-thinking of moments you long for, and knowing you’ll never have them again. The beautiful ghosts of our past haunt us, and yet we still can’t decide if the pain they caused us out weighs the tender moments when they touched our soul. This is the irony of love."
"The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie."
"There will always be someone willing to hurt you, put you down, gossip about you, belittle your accomplishments and judge your soul. It is a fact that we all must face. However, if you realize that God is a best friend that stands beside you when others cast stones you will never be afraid, never feel worthless and never feel alone."
"The best kind of happiness is a habit you're passionate about."
