#being-yourself

"Consider the fact that maybe…just maybe…beauty and worth aren’t found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn’t need gloss or polish or glitter to shine."

"Maybe it’s NOT Maybelline. Maybe you were just born with it."

"If you learn to really sit with loneliness and embrace it for the gift that it is…an opportunity to get to know YOU, to learn how strong you really are, to depend on no one but YOU for your happiness…you will realize that a little loneliness goes a LONG way in creating a richer, deeper, more vibrant and colorful YOU."

"Your lucky enough to be different, never change"

"Everyone has a sense of humor. If you don't laugh at jokes, you probably laugh at opinions."

"When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves."

"Live authentically. Why would you continue to compromise something that's beautiful to create something that is fake?"

"To be deeply loved, means a willingness to cut yourself wide open, exposing your vulnerabilities... hopes, hurts, fears and flaws. Hiding behind the highlight reel of who you are, is the real you and that person is just as worthy of love. There is nothing more terrifying or fulfilling, than complete love, it's worth the risk... reach for it."

"There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you."
