Before I go to work, I like to pump myself up by crying over my master's degree.

You are constantly changing & evolving through your experiences, how you interpret your experiences, and how you choose to do things in the future based on those experiences.

The single greatest gift you could ever give the world is to be exactly who you are.

Don't ever, ever, ever give up, because you're here for a reason, even if it's just to laugh at cats on the internet.

I think clothes hang beautifully on thin women.
