4. Breakups are messy and will hurt you like a bitch but you learn so much about love and about yourself.
5. Choose people who inspire you and motivate you to be your best self. Who you choose to have around shows you so much about your potential.

22. Bravery isn’t choosing not to feel anything and it’s not the absence of fear. The bravest people in this world are those that have been through so much pain but they still choose to wear their hearts on their sleeves.
