In life there are no Cinderella romances,
No picture perfect ballroom dances,
No prince charming to carry me off into the sunset,
No happily ever after
and better yet I’m not beauty and there’s no beast,
No Mrs. Potts or chip to help prepare a feast.
No hearts of love converted from those of stone,
No promises of never being alone.
There isn’t a snow white or her handsome prince,
No magic eye-opening kiss.
No 7 dwarfs who dwell in the same house,
No determination to give Snow White a spouse.
There is no Little Mermaid of the sea
and no man of the land,
No falling in love while laying in the sand.
No Ariel whose voice won his love,
No mergen of the waters below and the land above.
No perfect ending,
No magic despite what we would like,
life ISN’T a fairytale.
LIFE is just LIFE, and its really beautiful.
To those of you who have pushed me, thank you- without you I wouldn’t have fallen.
To those of you who laughed at me, thank you- without you I wouldn’t have cried.
To those of you who just couldn’t love me, thank you- without you I wouldn’t have known real love.
To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you- without you I wouldn’t have felt it all.
To those of you who left me lonely, thank you- without you I wouldn’t have discovered myself,
but it is to those of you who thought I couldn’t do it— it is to you I thank the most because, without you I wouldn’t have tried.
** All trials are not the reason to give up, but a challenge to improve ourselves.
our pain is not an excuse to back out.
but an inspiration to move on
letting go is an act of acceptance, not a denial of what happened. when you bring peace to the past, you can move forward to the future.

Holding on is perhaps the sincerest form of loyalty, and maybe even love.
But there's always something more to live for when you're not afraid to let go
Don’t give up on something just because you don’t think things will work, you won’t know unless you give it a try.
Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.
Take chances, take a lot of them.
Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be.
Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make.
Everything is worth it. Say how you feel always. Be you, and be okay with it.
