“To laugh often and love much; to win the
respect of intelligent persons and the affection of
children; to earn the approbation of honest
citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to
give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a
redeemed social condition; to have played and
laughed with enthusiasm and sung with
exultation; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived—this is to have
succeeded.”
― Bessie Anderson Stanley, More Heart Throbs

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what,
you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a
universal truth. But the good part is you get to
decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will
be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just
remember, some come, somg go. The ones that
stay with you through everything - they're your
true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also
remember, sisters make the best friends in the
world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go
too. And babve, I hate to say it, most of them -
actually pretty much all of them are going to
break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if
you give up, you'll never find your soul mate.
You'll never find that half who makes you whole
and that goes for everything. Just because you
fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at
everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always,
always, always believe in yourself, because if you
don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head
high, keep your chin up, and most importantly,
keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and
there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe
