There are times in my life when I let myself get consumed with jealously for someone else's life, their body, their wardrobe, their talent. They call it the green-eyed monster for a reason. It's a self destructive and when it's in the room, it consumes you. Be strong and don't focus on what other people have.

I prefer to cry alone, Pride? No. I just want to avoid trial of people who don't know the reason of my tears.

People say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can never hurt you, but that's not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven't forgotten.

Whatever you dream of doing one day, don't give up on that dream because you never know where it can take you.

I surround myself with people who make positive decisions ... My friends and I look out for each other.

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.

You don't have to be a drug addict to care for your mind.
