It is a decision that compassion is more important than fear, than fitting in, than following the crowd.

There are only two lives we might live: our dream or our destiny. Sometimes they are one in the same, and sometimes they're not. Often our dreams are just a path to our destinies.

I think when your heart hurts this much it means you opened it wide once- and that is something to be proud of.

If you feel something calling you to dance or write or paint or sing, please refuse to worry about whether you're good enough . Just do it. Be generous. Offer a gift to the world no one else can offer : yourself.

No relationship would be successful without a little compromise. If you can't learn to do that then I'm sorry to say your relationship will never survive. Love is about giving and taking, it's not just about smiles and kind words. Compromise is key.

You are not a mess. You are a feely person in a messy world.

A good day is a good day. A bad day is a good story.
