Dreams have helped make me who I am today; because of dreams I've tried harder at everything. But it wasn't just dreaming; it was believing in those dreams. It was faith
If you don't go after what you want,you'll never get it. if you don't ask, the answer is always no. if you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
So just live, make mistakes and have wonderful times, but never ever second guess who you are, where you've been, and most importantly where you're going.
Courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important. the brave might not live forever but the cautious don't live at all
"Recovery is something that you have to work
on every single day and it's
something that doesn't
get a day off."
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe
“My kids are starting to notice I’m a little different from the other dads. 'Why don’t you have a straight job like everyone else?', they asked me the other day. I told them this story:
In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, 'Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you.' And they grew up in that forest together. One day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, 'Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest.' So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.”
"Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay it's not the end"

It takes a single instance to break a man/woman, a single choice to end all that he/she is. But not all instances are frozen, not all choices are set in stone. We are fragile, yet we choose. Break or Live?
You probably don't understand, most people don't. You will never understand how much anger, how much self-hatred someone must have to take a razor to themselves and cut into their own skin.
I found this one a couple weeks ago, and actually posted it in the ED forum. It really resignated with me
"At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities. You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun to be around. That's wonderful, and I'm happy for you, but let me ask you this: are you being any of those things to yourself?"
~ Phillip C. McGraw
" You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."~ Eleanor Roosevelt
"Who honors those we love with the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we'll never die? Who teaches us what's real, and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live, and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us, and who holds the key to set us free? It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!"

I've learned that it's not what happens to people,
