Here is a list of my favorite quotes, and what they mean to me.

1. "Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations."

This quote means a lot to me, and I can view it from so many different perspectives. I think a lot of people can relate to this quote because many people go through tough times. The journey may be hard and difficult, but it will lead to a beautiful ending.

2. "The best relationships start off as a friendship first."

I have learned through my many years of dating that the best relationships start off with a friendship. You get to know the person as a friend and the most important things about them. It is crazy how often this works. I can say 100% I believe this because it is so true.

3. "Oh screw beautiful. I'm brilliant. If you want to appease me, compliment my brain." -Christina Yang

I love this quote. Many women are often so caught up in the fact that you have to be perfect, skinny, flawless and everything else to be considered beautiful. But what many women don't realize about themselves, is that brilliance is beautiful. I love for people to see my knowledge and intelligence.

4. "Do not judge. You don't know what storm I've asked her to walk through." -God

I can place this directly into my life as I have endured my cancer. No one has the right to judge me, when they don't know the whole story about the things I have walked through, or who I am as a person. I believe that everyone has difficulties in life, and it is not fair at all for another person to be judgmental about someone when they don't know anything about them.

5. "Don't let anyone dull your sparkle."

I don't sweat I sparkle. I'll just leave that there :)

6. "I think freckles, stretch marks, tattoos, bruises, birthmarks, and scars are the coolest thing ever. You started with almost a black canvas. Look at you now. All this evidence that you've lived."

Everything about you is cool. You have lived. Your body shows it. I am proud of my scars. And everything about me. It shows how much I have lived, and how much I have left to live.

7. "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other." -Audrey Hepburn

Having people in your life that mean something to you is so important. They are the ones you are going to love and adore in your life. Don't worry about holding onto materialistic things, instead, worry about holding onto the people in your life that you cherish and love.

8. "If you're sad, add more lipstick and attack." -Coco Chanel

This speaks for itself. Add that lipstick and go and do what you gotta do.

9. "I walk around like everything is fine, but deep down, inside my shoe, my sock is sliding off."

Basically the story of my life in one quote.

10. "I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say, because of you, I didn't give up."

I want to make a difference in peoples lives. I hope that I can be someone that inspires them to never give up, and to never lose their fight.

11. "Take a second and think about how blessed you are."

It is so easy to get caught up in the little things in life, that it is hard to stop and really take in everything you have been blessed with in this life.

12. "People are going to judge you anyways, so forget everyone and be yourself."

Nothing more real than being yourself. Never cover up what God has blessed you with.

20. "Let your dreams stay big and your worries stay small." -Rascal Flatts

One of the most influential songs I have ever heard, I will forever remember the lyrics. This song has such a great meaning behind it.

21. "Stop waiting for Friday, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in right now."

This is a great reminder that you should always love each moment and not wish your life away. You never know when your last day on earth may be, so love each moment and never take them for granted.
