People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we're all going to die, so how do you want to live?

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

I think when you're in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it's better than when you do yourself.

The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.

I have a passion for my work, and that can seep into you. It's almost as if you're drawn to it.

Sometimes your mistakes are you biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake. Those things that you think are the worst thing that's happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunity.

I'm trying to find a man to share my life with, but it's not been easy. I'm a 35-year-old woman with two small children.
