Some people just don't like to be their self. I'm always looking, analyzing myself.

Back when I had a little, I thought that I needed a lot. A little was overrated, but a lot was a little too complicated. See, zero didn't satisfy me. A million didn't make me happy. That's when I learned a lesson that it's all about your perception....THERE'S HOPE. It doesn't cost a thing to smile. You don't have to pay to laugh. Better thank God for that.

I have, my whole life, been healing the girl inside, the part of me that struggles about being a female in the world. That's why I write about the things I write about.

It's always sad to me when certain people are excluded from being considered beautiful... because of someone else's expectation. That bothers me.

There is no secret, you try and never stop trying. If you have to sleep all day, and get up the next day, you keep trying. If you have to take 3 years away, do it and then come back. But it's all about trying. Not everything will work, but some things will, and you have to try.

I like when a teenager comes and talks to me on the street. I've been through a lot and I have a lot to share.

The worst disease in the world is hate. And the cure for hate is love.
