In my twenty years of life, I have never understood how people can intentionally hurt another person. Maybe this is something I don't understand because I can't relate to it.

But I hold it close to my heart that friends don't do that to each other and respectable people that were raised well wouldn't do that either.

Insecure people hurt other people. If they are not confident in themselves, they would love to see everyone else fall with them.

One of my biggest beliefs is your true character comes out when you can't control the situation.

My mother always raised me to show respect, not to lash out, be real, form relationships, be supportive and love, deeply. Never settle for toxic people, you are worth more than that.

Surround yourself with strong, independent people that inspire you to be better and stronger than you were the day before.

Heart to hearts and girls nights will always be one of my favorite past times. You never know what someone is going through.

Make sure you are the girl that is cheering people on, not tearing them down. Empowered women, empower women. Remember, "real Queens fix each other's crowns."

Accepting the fact that if you're lucky maybe life will work out for you around 70% of the time, will come in handy. You might not be able to control the situation but you can control your reaction to it.

Day by day, everything will clear up- but make sure you are grounded in who you are and the way you react. Respect people, even if none is offered back. Smile and stay kind, always.

Your power is being able to surround yourself with those that feel like sunshine. They will stick with you through the storm as you stick true to yourself.
