I live in the mindset that you have to love yourself before you are able to love others.
I started dreaming and then I started writing, I just needed to put my dreams out there.

"You're gonna lose people in your life. Realize that no matter how much time you spent with them or how much you appreciate them and told them so, it will never seem like it was enough"

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares." - Henri J.M.
