I was cleaning up my emails at work and came across some words that people have shared with me when life felt unbearable or simply just exhaustive.

Giving up doesn't always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.

I do hope that your anger somehow gets channeled into something else - something for you. A realization that YOU are better than the idea of any ding-a-ling, piece of hot ass. And that you're better than any guy who digs a ding-a-ling piece of hot ass. hahaha!

When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness; instead keep your head up high and gaze into heaven for that is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.

The lows in our lives remind us that we won’t always get everything we want. We still have to work hard for it and pray for it and not expect it to be served to us.

Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its trouble. It empties today of its strength.

As for insecurties.... it comes from fear. Fear is the root of jealousy, sadness, evil, madness, etc. Because of fear, you have this need to control everything, know everything; and you try to protect yourself from the emotional wounds you're so used to making upon yourself. The only way to conquer it is love. And love is free. Hahahaha!

Caution to the wind, sistah!!!! Bring it!!!

Don’t mistake my curiosity for a need to help or give advice. I’m just a nosy little pest that takes comfort in knowing other people have problems too. haha! j/k!
- Jovi Candelaria

You're a control freak, so let go and see what's out there for you. Take the risk. If it's boo, move on. If it's great, move on. You can only handle things of today and not tomorrow. Keep taking each step one at a time until you reach your happiness...then you can breathe.
- Joe de los Reyes

It's natural to fight pain and run from it. But you do not need to be defeated by it. Believe it or not, pain can be a gift. The day that understanding comes to you, you will find peace.
- John and Dorie Rhodes
