I think that every day we are taught lessons and sometimes we don't realize or see it.

It is so difficult in the world for people to find love, true love.

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.

I think life is a learning lesson within itself. I think you should take the best out of everything that you see and that you encounter and make the best of it.

When you do the first season, you're putting your life out there and you're kind of hesitant about it, and then by the time you get around to the second season, you don't care. It's like, "This is who I am - like it, accept it, or don't." There are so many misconceptions that now they can see who I am.

It's good to do things that are out of the norm. I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow. And growth is what we all need and what we all strive for because we want to get better and better and better each day. And that's one of the things that I say to myself as far as a ritual that I have every day: "What can I do today to make it better than it was yesterday?"

I love my family and I miss them very much but I'm a new person now. I know a lot of people will not agree with what I've done, but it was right for me.
