The only thing we can depend on in life is that everything changes. The seasons, our partners, what we want and need. We hold hands with out high school friends and swear to never lose touch, and then we do.Change is the only constant. Your ability to navigate and tolerate change and its painful uncomfortableness directly correlates to your happiness and general well-being.
It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.
You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.
Sometimes you need to know to quit while you're ahead or at least before things get much worse!

I think if you can dance and be free and not embarrassed, you can rule the world.
However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, 'I'm just crying because of how wrong you are.'
Ignore what other people think. Most people aren’t even paying attention to you.
