“I've been loved, and I've been left. I've held on, and I've let go. I've forgiven, and I've forgotten. Death has taught me more about life than living ever could, and family is always there when the world never is. I've learned tradition is grasping your past with out holding you back, and being who you are is an obligation, not a choice.”
Laura Kessler
“I'm everything you thought I would never be. I'm the woman you thought I could never amount to. I have all the things you said I couldn't get and did all the things you said I couldn't do. Yeah, you're somebody's somebody, and while you're at a stand still I'm crawling to the top. You destroyed me, and now you motivate me,and inspire me, to BE better, to DO better...and to WANT better.”
“The hardest part for so long was learning how to shut my own doors. You taught me to hate so many things I used to love...I'm starting to love them again...and I think if you knew me now you would realize you would start to love me again too...but I really want you to know that out of all the things I have hated and fallen for again...you were not one of them.”
“I choose to believe that people are placed in your life to teach you the things you do not understand.”
“Know your worth so it will be known to the world, and don't have high expectations...just know what you want.”
“Today is a day to live for those who can't, remember those who were lost, and stand for anything that has fallen.”
“Laugh, cry, and discover your fears so you can be strong from the hurt, happy from the pain, and know who you are from everything you've discovered you're not.”
“I'm so afraid to fall apart that I can't keep it together.”
“Fear is of the unknown. Don't excuse it. Embrace it. Challenge it.”
“I know where I've been, and I see where I'm going. Never forget, I walked away after you did. You can't fool me with your words because my mind is now sharper than your tongue. TRY to make me a fool and tell the world I'm something I'm not and I will make you the fool, and show the world everything I am.”
