Nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through the tears.

Life can be so difficult at times, but fighting through the pain is so worth it. It’s better to feel every kind of emotion than to not feel at all.

Tall, thin, curvy, short – whatever you are, you are beautiful.

Recovery is something you have to work on every single day, and it’s something that doesn’t get a day off.

You are beautiful. And you're worth more than harming yourself.

There were times I felt so anxious, almost like I was crawling out of my skin, that if I didn't do something physical to match the way I felt inside, I would explode. I cut myself to take my mind off that. I just didn't care what happened. I had no fear.

Enjoy your life...let loose, party hard and just have a good time.

I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me. And it's OK to be selfish like that sometimes, when it comes to your well-being. Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think.

My tattoos are reminders to hang in there when things get tough.
