If you are feeling lost,
helpless,
down,
sad,
angry,
betrayed,
you name it,
you can rise from it,
you can create from it,
you can grow from it.
I am living proof
the most turbulent year of one’s life
could also turn out to be
the greatest, more rewarding year, too.

In order to advance in life, you have to accept what you are doing, learn from it and grow.

If we're going to learn anything,

I need to stop renaming the decisions I've made as mistakes just because I wish I could take them back.

It’s one thing to have a support system in your life
to cheer you on during the instances when
everyone is rooting for you. However, it’s another
thing entirely to look back in your darkest
moments and still see them standing in your
corner, encouraging you to stay in the ring and
FIGHT, when the odds aren’t in your favor and all
you want to do is throw in the towel.
Not many people in this life will be on your side
even when they aren’t on your side. Even less who
momentarily will slam doors out of frustration but
never actually lock you out.
Unconditional love; the definition of sister.

You don't grow up when you try, you grow up when you have to.
