There's more to life than cheek bones.

It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mom.

If being crazy means living life as if it matters, then I don't mind being completely insane.

Ultimately, you just have one life. You never know unless you try. And you never get anywhere unless you ask.

Emotionally, I stay healthy by being grounded in the word of God, being open and honest, never being afraid to speak my mind in love, and having good communication with those around me.

--you wouldn't have hurt me like this for nothing. So what have I done? How have I wronged you? Tell me.

The acne thing was bad. The shoulders, the face, my voice changed. I had a period every other week.

Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.
