"What doesn't kill you....well, it hurts like hell, but it doesn't kill ya."

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter won't mind." - Dr. Suess

This has become a bit of a mantra for me because I still struggle with worrying about what other people think about me and I am trying to change that about myself. It's really an important life lesson all children should be taught.

"Hate is easy, love takes courage"

So true. Love can be very hard at times.

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

I love this. Because we ALL have faults and anyone who is not willing to work with my faults, forgive them, overlook them, love them...as I would do for them...really does not deserve all the wonderful stuff that's on the flip-side of the coin.
