I've learned through the years how to base my identity and sense of self-worth on myself and not others. I've learned the most critical tool of all: self-love. Now, if it doesn't work out with someone, sure, I'll be hurt. But I'll be bruised, not broken. And I may lose my balance, but I won't be wiped off my feet.

If you want to know someone, just look at who they choose to spend their time with.

Gratitude is a choice. Happiness is an attitude.

Strive to be authentic, not perfect.

Oftentimes, we get advice from people who are not equipped to give it, and it does more harm than good.

Hold yourself on your own. A man's job in a romantic dynamic is not to be your butler, bank account or your father.
