“When nobody else celebrates you, learn to celebrate yourself. When nobody else compliments you, then compliment yourself. It’s not up to other people to keep you encouraged. It’s up to you. Encouragement should come from the inside.”
— Joel Osteen

“I try and focus on my studies. I try so hard to be consumed by the literature, the philosophy. I try my absolute best to keep him out of my mind. But at midnight, the thoughts begin. Why was I not good enough? What changed his mind? Was I too much? Too little? You know, it’s crazy that after all these years, the simple rejection of a man will send me down a spiral of self-doubt. I will try my hardest to remember that I am enough. Still, I can't help but wonder: was it my fault?”

“It is important to remind yourself that a man’s actions are simply a reflection of himself. Nothing you ever do is deserving of disrespect. A man who does not value you is simply not the one. A man who does not chase after you will never be yours to call home. Remember to stand your ground. You are far too significant to be weighed down by the opinions of a man. You are a miracle. You are life.”
