It's okay not to be perfect, because no matter what anyone tells you, no one is - thinking you are and actually being so are two very different things

When you need to let it out, write. Get it out of you and onto paper. Just remember it may start small, but it could grow to be something big. When you reach times of overwhelmingness take a deep breath and allow it to slowly escape. It is a wonder how a repetitive action such as breathing can make you feel. These are the words I find myself being constantly reminded of.

Remember that every story can be a lesson if you choose to see it that way

It makes no sense that us humans are afraid of not succeeding when the regret of not trying in the first place can be just as bad of a feeling.

For anyone out there who is afraid to follow your dream, don't be! I can't encourage you enough!

Doing something for the first time can sometimes be as painful as ripping a band-aid off but after that you know what lies ahead of you and you can try to handle it better and with more confidence

When the smell all around you is so stained that it gags you

To me, success means being driven, never being afraid to work hard, and never being afraid of failing. That it the only way we grow and learn after all.

Just remember...it's not about winning,it's about doing the best you can, and believing in yourself, always

When all you want to do is wake up from a dream that you thought was reality.
