Inspiration

You may not feel like you're always loved and like no one cares about you, but you're wrong. There is always someone out there that truly cares about you. You ALWAYS have someone that you can count on no matter what. Who that person is, I don't know. How do you know? Simple. Wait until you go through something serious, that's when your "true" friends will shine through. The truth hurts, but it'll only make you stronger in the end. I promise.

Here are some quotes that I find inspiring, and I hope they'll inspire you, too!

"Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form."

"Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap."  ~ William Bennett

"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do."       ~ Eleanor Roosevelt 

"Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living."
