My Philosophy: Growing up, everyone is given their puzzle to put together. We might feel insecure one moment or another. We might feel like a failure one moment or another. We might feel stressed one moment or another. I know that I’ve felt alone, ashamed, and worried before. But I’ve come to realize that despite all this, there is always a positive outlook on things. Be yourself. Feel happy with your accomplishments and don’t give up. Nobody’s perfect. Surround yourself with friends that love you for you. Believe in yourself and everyone else. Stay strong and you’ll make it through with a smile on your face. It’s your time to live so don’t mess it up  Take a chance   And don’t stop believing   No matter what

Every artist was first an amateur. And you can be bad at something But if you love doing it that will be enough So make a wish Take a chance Make a change

Believe in magic A voice of gladness, and a smile And eloquence of beauty

I can spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly Across the deep blue ocean under the open sky I’ll never give up ‘Cause I’ve got the magic in me



Be not disturbed at trifles Or at accidents common or unavoidable We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy I am beautiful and I will be okay Happiness can be found Even in the darkest of times Out of the darkness and into the sun Love is all we need to make it through



You cannot judge another. Some things don’t matter much. But lifting a person’s heart-that matters So I won’t forget all the ones that //I love//

I have enjoyed a perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear. Good sense has fair play, and reasons and laughs it out of doors But don’t underestimate the power of a listening ear You make my frown turn upside down.



I am awake and there is a dawn in me Not wisdom, or love, or beauty, or power, but all in one Aiming to be somebody that somebody trusts And wonderful people, you’re not alone

Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also Keep on loving what is true and the world will come to you You can find it in yourself
