Words can mean so much. Here is a culmination of quotes from my little pink book written provided by some of the greatest people I have ever met. This is dedicated to my nearest and dearest. To the people, I love you all so very much and thank you for loving me when I could not love myself. You are all the reason I am here today.

All of these quotes have inspired and pushed me to be the best version of myself I can be. Sharing these words with my friends has made me realize we are all looking for hope in this big, wide, confusing world. I know I still have many more awesome people that need to sign this and I will get to that eventually. In the meantime, I encourage you all to make your own quote book. Keep your friend's words close, and a part of them with you always.
