Strengthen the roots

They say 'Treat them like you want to be treated',
but they also say 'Treat them like they treat you'
The one will make me friendly, the other one will make me respected.

 Be good to them, even if they are assholes.
The sun doesn't stop shining because of some clouds.

Wherever you go, just always remember that you got a home for now and forever

You say I changed.
I'm happy I did.
I like the new me.
I fought hard to become her. 

That's the thing about people.
If you want them to love you, you have to love yourself first.

Learn how to love yourself and you will never have to be alone once.

I can get a little drunk, I do all the dont's, but on good days I am charming as hell

 Somedays I wake up and I reach for my phone and I almost call you, or text you. I want to tell you I miss you.
But I know I'm better off without you and I don't actually miss you, but our special moments.
So I keep it all to myself.

I am not the prettiest you've ever seen, but I have my moments.

The stronger you believe in yourself, the more you are able to do.

Guys just don't get how hard it is to be a girl.
Your period's late a week and you think
"Shit I'm pregnant"
Even if you're still a virgin.

When I was a kid I didn't have emojis, I had to actually laugh myself.

You're capable of amazing things

To get something you never had you'll have to do something you've never done.

If you reach high, you have to be prepared to fall deep.
But don't let fear define your goals, someone will catch you on the way down, I promise.

Sweetie, when will you understand?
Don't chase men, chase your goals.
Your goals won't wake up one day and say they don't love you anymore.

 Hoping for the best but expecting the worst is how you have to live your life.

Never let anybody treat you like you're anything less than a princess, my father said to me.

Life is more than black and white.
Beauty is more than body and face.

They say that our hearts aren't measured by how much we love but by how much we are loved back.
That thought scares me.

 It's okay of you to think I'm ugly.
Most people rather have me ugly and nice than pretty and a bitch.

Darling, it has to be hard before it can become easy

I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion
(Fight Song, Rachel Platten)

All my life I've been told things about me that I didn't think were true.
All my life I adjusted myself to the people around me just to fit in somehow, and I didn't even know.
Then someday I met the person that stood by me when no one else was ever beside me.
I did not realize it back then, but that was the day I finally began being myself, And it felt good.
My best friend laughed about me when I acted dumb.
But she also complimented me for my swimming technique after I've fallen from the boat I wanted to sail.
She stole the last cookie from the plate, but handed me the needed water after every fight, even if it was her that I fought.

But what if everytime I said something I told you was a lie, I lied because I was scared of what you think about the real me?

And if I told you I wished someone would dream about me, would that make me cute or would you think I'm pathetic?
