You see, this heart, won't settle down; just like a child, running, scared, from a clown. Demi Lovato

I'm not saying I'm perfect, or fixed, but I am learning to love and accept myself. My outlook is more positive and I am happy.

One of the reasons I was so unhappy for years was because I never embraced my emotions and I was trying to stay in control.

When you do your best and live out your dreams, you inspire others to do the same.

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.

There's gonna be haters, but don't let them affect you, don't let them take away a part of you.
