You really need to be careful of who you hang out with and who you listen to. They can lead you down the wrong path.

If you don't feel pretty, you're wrong. If you're dealing with a problem, don't be afraid to talk. And... If you think you're alone, listen to my music 'cause I'm here for you.

Change your thoughts, change your life. —LAO TZU When I was fighting depression, I remember hearing this expression and not understanding it at first. When I decided to implement it in my life, a whole new world opened up for me. Change the negative, self-loathing thoughts to positive, self-affirming ones. When you’re positive about yourself and everything around you, you begin to see the world in a different light. Your life today is what you make of it. Goal: Be mindful of the tone of your thoughts.

Sometimes I'm not always doing amazing but it's okay... because everyone struggles and it's okay to be flawed because that's what makes me... Me.

Find your purpose, find your voice.

When I look back, it saddens me to think that I was so hard on myself - when I was younger, I thought I had to look like everyone else, but I learned that beauty comes from how you feel about yourself. Once I started taking care of my mind, body, and soul, I realized that I didn't need to conform to what's "normal" and started to love myself.

To be someone's inspiration is the biggest goal in my life.
