Sometimes you have to fight to get your point across.

Yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift is why it's called a present.

Enjoy the little things.

People are going to talk whether you're doing bad or good so love life to the fullest and don't worry or care what others think. Make yourself happy!

Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.

Don't pretend to be someone your not just so others will like you. Just be yourself and the right people will love you.

As a child, I never imagined all of the real monsters in the world would be humans.

A person can become so determined to destroy another person that they become so blind and end up destroying themselves.

We are all humans until race disconnected us, religion separated us, Politics divided us and wealth classified us.

Just because someone is "family" doesn't mean you have to tolerate their lies, chaos, drama, manipulation and disrespect.

You can be friends with people for years and it could take years for you to realize they were never your friends in the first place.

Don't have a baby until you're ready is only told to women and never men.

Gentle reminder that bad pictures of you mean nothing. You are beautiful in real life. Cameras never get the sunset right, so of course they can't get you.

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

Teach your sons that cooking and cleaning are basic life skills, not gender roles and respect women.

When you cut off someone from your life, they will never tell people the full story; they will only tell them the part that makes you look bad and them innocent.

We blame black cats crossing our path for causing bad luck; but we never consider the possibility that the path we were on was already unlucky, and that the cat was warning us to take another.

When you destroy someone's life with lies, take it as a loan, it will come back to you with interest.

Self sabotage is real, don't let your mind destroy yourself.

A liar will get mad at you for knowing the truth.

I truly believe we struggle in our minds more than we do in reality.

Everything you are now will decompose after you die. Why so much pride? So much greed? So much Evil? So much ego? All for what?

Point out people's bs and watch them make it like you're the problem.

You can't change what people think about you, so don't try. Just live your life and be happy.

Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but never discuss their disrespect that triggered you.

Emotional abuse isn't always yelling and cursing. It can be as simple as ignoring you and withholding affection. You deal with this for years and it'll change you.

May life treat you exactly the same way you treat servers, store clerks, strangers, women, senior citizens, children, babies, and animals.

Alcohol and drugs is a very effective dissolving agent, it dissolves families, marriages, friendships, jobs, bank accounts, lives and neurons, but never problems.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others and if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

They weren't sorry when you didn't know. Remember that.

Take me or leave me, accept me or walk away, love me or hate me. But don't make me feel less of a person if I don't fit in your idea of who I should be I am me and I love me as I am.

Dear absent parent:
Never assume that the other parent taught the child to hate you. A child can notice a parent who doesn't want to be involved in their child's life. Stop this nonsense of always thinking that the other parent poisons their child or children against you. Your absence is the biggest poison.

If you wouldn't make her your wife, then don't make her a mother.

With so many trends coming back, I can't wait for common sense, morals and intelligence to become cool again.

Be patient with yourself, your best version is yet to come.

All good things come for those who wait.

Just because I don't always share my troubles, doesn't mean I don't have them. At times, I may be fighting battles you know nothing about.

Dear strong women,
you are not intimidating. They are intimidated. There is a difference.

Recovering people pleasers will be like "I am in my villain era!" and it's just politely drawing healthy boundaries.

A narcissist will throw in your face all that they have done for you, but never say one word of all that you have done for them.
