Anyone that hates on you is always below you, because they're just jealous of what you have.

If you believe in yourself anything is possible.

Always look forward and try to push pass the negativity. I think everyone's beautiful and they deserve to be happy no matter what.

The greatest opportunities in life come with fear and risk.

You can't blame me for who I am.

Oh! My beloved! fill the cup, that clears to-day of past regrets and future fears.
