Mandy Hale: "A healthy relationship will never require you to sacrifice your friends, your dreams, or your dignity."

As you get older you start doing things in reverse. You start cutting people out from your life. Your Christmas list becomes practically nonexistent. You don’t need to be the first in line for everything. You take less pictures because some memories are best kept in your heart and not your hard drive. And instead of looking for love, you dig for it from within.

Never ignore your first instinct just because it isn’t what you want to believe.

Be the type of person who leaves a mark, not a scar.

Don't let one person ruin your day, it's not worth it.

Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity.

Sometimes you love, and you learn, and you move on. And that’s okay.
