I am QUEEN of subconsciously comparing my chapter one to other’s chapter twenty. It’s absolutely insane, but sometimes I just can’t help it. I always feel like I should have the best of everything at every moment, and the truth is life just doesn’t work that way and my path is different from everyone else’s. In college I was always very hard on myself to do well and get only A’s, work 24/7 and maintain my relationships. Every couple of months I’d have a mental breakdown, so it’s hard to realize that you can’t do everything and you can’t be…

This is one of my favorite quotes/mantras. It’s one of the ways that I always try to live my life. During any hardship in life, it’s your patience and how you deal with these difficulties that matters most. You should always strive to put out good energy even when nothing good is going on. On the opposite spectrum, your attitude when everything is going good means so much too. You should always be kind even when you don’t necessarily have to be. Constantly be thankful for the everything that you have. No one likes an asshole. People remember when you do something…

I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand people who always have to be right. I get it, I don’t enjoy being wrong either but come on, you can’t be right all the time. I think it’s our tendency, and human nature, to want to be right. We want to say the right thing, do the right thing, be the right person and know all the answers (unless your a serial killer – kidding, kind of). The reality of that is, you just can’t know everything, you can’t always do the right thing and people will respect your for…

You know when something just speaks to you? That was this quote. You cannot appreciate the good that you have in your life without the pain, struggle and heartache. Darkness is such a beautiful gift. I swear by the fact that people who have had everything given to them and have never had to deal with anything, CANNOT truly understand how good your soul feels when things are good. When shit is bad, say your in-between jobs, struggling with money, struggling in your relationships, death, dealing with betrayal – it sucks, its depressing, painful and it just plain sucks. The…

Pro tip: I chose this quote today because it’s something SO important to remember. I love fashion, shopping, jewelry, trends, things – I love things; but they are not who I am. My Chanel bag doesn’t make me feel better than anyone else, or define my personality. It’s just a thing, that I love, but again, it’s just a bag. It’s not my family, it’s not my friends, it’s not a great night out or an amazing experience that helps me grow as a person, its a fucking bag. It’s a nice bag and I’m happy I have it, but you…
