"So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."

"Don’t be so damn hard on yourself. Yeah, you screwed up. You’re not perfect, fine. Learn from it. But don’t punish yourself. Be kind to you, even when you screw up. You’ll bounce back eventually. You’ll make up for it."

This time last year I was happy…engaged to a guy that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. This time last year, he left. And my entire world changed. I spent 8 months fighting…trying to get my old life back. Then one day I woke up and it was a little easier. I can’t really put my finger on a moment when I realized that I would be ok because it just happened gradually until I found myself able to remember without being sad and to talk to him without wishing he would wake up and realize his mistake.

Do I wish things were different? Yes. I wish that things had gone the way I had planned them. But I don’t regret a single decision I’ve made along the way. I will never have to live with a “what if” because I know that I offered every last piece of myself to him time and time again. I am stronger now than I was last year. I know that I can get through anything and I know that there are so many amazing people out there who are willing to help me in any way possible. I know that no matter how alone I feel, there are others going through the exact same thing.

For the first time in quite a while, I am excited for my future and what is to come. So here is to fresh starts and everything being different this year :)

"I think we’re thinking too much with a ‘haters gonna hate’ mentality, always protecting ourselves from the worst thing someone could say. Shoot high. Aim high. Haters gonna hate but lovers gonna love. Lovers gonna love is much more important and more integral to your life than haters hating. When you put on that shirt, when you wanna write that blog, when you wanna sing that song, or when you want to paint that painting, don’t think about haters gonna hate, think about lovers gonna love."

"So, I’ve been thinking about this whole being happy thing, and I feel like people get lost when they think of happiness as a destination. We’re always thinking that someday we’ll be happy; we’ll get that car or that job or that person in our lives that will fix everything. But happiness is a mood, and it’s a condition, not a destination. It’s like being tired or hungry, it’s not permanent. It comes and goes, and that’s okay. And I feel like if people thought of it that way, they’d find happiness more often."

"When I was in college, a lot of students would give up on things before they really had a chance to explore them; they’d convince themselves it was not possible. For me, it was the whole issue of just getting to make movies- it was a completely impossible idea. There was no even remote consideration that it could actually happen, but I put my mind to it and never considered any other possibility, and it was through that that I eventually did manage to do the impossible."

"When things go wrong, you’ll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start to go right they often go on getting better and better."
