Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself.
Love will hurt. If it doesn't hurt you are not doing it right. To truly love someone you must open yourself up to the pain that would be losing them.
Someone is always going to try to knock you down and take your place. It is up to you to fight for what you want.
If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else?
Give a man an inch he will try to give you six in return.
There is the easy way and there is my way.
