“Well duh! I’m not trying to change who you are. I just want you to be that wonderful person you are underneath all the self-doubt and isolation.” “I don’t think that person exists,” Sam told her with a slight bitterness in her voice. “Yes, she does. Look, I am not friends with losers and you are my best friend so by law, you’re awesome. You just need to let go of certain people’s expectations of you.” In other words, Sam’s father. Again, Sam smiled at her friend. “Okay, I’ll give it a shot.” “That is all that I ask,” Tabby replied before she waved to get the bartender’s attention. When he walked over to them, Tabby’s grin turned flirty. Hey, my friend and I are so thirsty, could you get us

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise. Always be yourself. At the end of the day, that's all you've really got; when you strip everything down, that's all you've got, so always be yourself." .... ... ....

"It's your fault for not being good enough to keep your man. Besides, they're just pictures. Who would believe you?" I chuckled at her shamelessness. In today's social media age, it would only take minutes for her reputation to be destroyed, regardless of whether people believed the screenshots were real. As I opened my social media app, pretending to upload the images, Sheena finally cracked. She lunged for my phone and screamed, "No!" I stepped back, causing her to stumble and fall. Other sales associates rushed over to help her up. "Sheena, are you okay?" they asked, concerned.

"Plan? Probably use all my savings to buy a very nice dress, shoes, and bags with this badass shade that would have 'Fuck you Slade written over it, and then go hungry for like what? A year? Sleeping under a bridge after Mrs. Peggy would have tossed me out of her house would be the most thoughtful plan I've ever had." "Xena," he said exasperatedly. "That's not it." "Then, what is?" I asked, folding my arms across my breasts. "You don't need to impress him you know? Just be yourself alright? Don't be more than you or less than you, just be you." Me? Let me be me. Do you know what being me is? Oh well, I'll tell you. It means staying up late doing copywriting jobs and then having your Boss sho

Avery nodded, trying so hard not to cry again. “Now, just give him some time, okay? Also, you need to work on yourself more now. I did my research on your illness, and I read that when you keep depending on your personalities, it's only going to get worse, you know? That's why you should learn to stand up for yourself instead of them. Believe me, the only person you will need for the rest of your life is yourself.” “Yes, you’re right,” Avery replied with a quiet voice. “I'm sorry for making you worried.”

I realized that loving her was the only way to save the woman I was becoming. In our introductory group meetings, we were asked to identify our vices. One by one, people stood up: "I’m an addict," "I’m an alcoholic," "I’m lost to sex." When it was my turn, I stood tall. "I am Cara," I said. "I don’t have an addiction yet - but I am here to make sure I never do." Standing among the broken, a fierce new mantra took root in my soul: I am not broken yet, and I refuse to be.

Be soft and leave a lasting impression on everybody you meet. People have gotten used to living a botched-up life — to be anxious, insecure, hateful, jealous, and in various states of unpleasantness through the day — slowly humanity has begun to see it as normal. None of these things are normal. These are abnormalities. Once you accept them as part of life they become normal because the majority has joined the gang of unpleasantness. They are all saying, "Unpleasantness is normal. Being nasty to each other is normal. Being nasty to myself is normal." Someone trusted that you would be doing good things at least to yourself and said, "Do unto others what you do unto yourself." I am telling you

Not only are we breaking this curse in our own family, but I also make it a point to instill in her a sense of her own self-appreciation since I am treating her like my own daughter. This is a rather long and rocky road for most adults, as it takes a long time for them to realize it, and many of them realize it at my age, some even at Alistair’s age. Now it becomes rather difficult for most of us to get out of our youth habits, and most of us are depressed and sad since we end up with everything in this world but peace and love for ourselves. While we’re taking a break, I hear a ring from my phone that I left on the couch where I was watching TV with Sophie.

I managed to hear snippets of what he was saying to me. “Hmm.” I hum as I think about what happened. “That hasn’t happened for a very very long time. Ugh, I’m never drinking again.” I really wish I would get rid of this bad habit of speaking to myself. What if someone hears me someday? That would be unsightly. I might even be sent to a psychiatrist or a mental institute.

"I know that the anchor you are to hold on to is someone you truly love and can't get over. Why are you looking for another anchor, when you can be your own anchor?" "Now, that doesn't make any sense" she seemed to not understand. "You're trying to find someone to hold on to an not let go but you can be that to yourself. You're beautiful and special. You're talented and you are a freaking Alpha's daughter! Why don't you love that part of you? Be willing to be opened to the possibilities in you. Love the good, bad and ugly part of you. Accept your faults and admit them. Don't let anyone's opinion of you define you. You're the best! You can only compete with yourself because you're not trying
