I know these are cliche but I use them regardless!

Actions speak louder than words.

You never know.

It was meant to be.

"Be Fearless" - Dove Chocolates wrapper.

I got this just shortly after my journey began and I know it probably sounds corny, but I gave me a lot of strength early on. I still have it taped to my computer screen at work.

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN PRISON.

“Ignorance is a lot like alcohol: the more you have of it, the less you are able to see its effect on you.”
― Jay M. Bylsma

Acceptance is giving up the dream you can have a better past.

"No" is a complete sentence.

Nothing changes if Nothing changes.

Just because they say it, doesn't make it true.
