I love quotes. I love when I find a quote that explains exactly what I’m feeling. I love when I’m scrolling through Twitter or Tumblr and I come across a quote, and it’s exactly what I need at that point in time. I feel like quotes allow me to put my thoughts and feelings into perfect words, words that I could never come up with on my own. So, I decided to compile a bunch of different quotes that have helped me at one time or another. The vast majority of these are inspirational and exactly what I needed to here at a moment in time. I think that these quotes are a reminder that you are in control of your own life, to keep moving forward and that everything is going to be okay in the end. I hope that these quotes help whoever reads this, and I hope that they do the same things they have done for me. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite quotes:

9."And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.” – John Steinbeck

13.“You just do it. You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it, you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse. Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it. There’s no other way.” – Elizabeth Taylor
14.“We are all broken, that’s how the light gets in.” – Ernest Hemingway
15."And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: Find the person you used to be or lose that person completely." – Brooke Davis
16."Life kicks you around sometimes, it scares you and it beats you up. There's a day when you realize you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior. You're tougher than anything it (life) throws your way." – Brooke Davis
17.“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” – Dr. Seuss
As always, I’m sending lots of love to each and every one of you.
