“What is your philosophy in life?”
“I would consider my philosophy in life to be yourself. Corny and overused as that sounds, my true self has won me love and friendship. Life is too short to pretend to be someone you’re not and you always have to make room for change. Don’t hang out with people who make you feel like crap. Don’t beat yourself up for things that are out of your control. Love what you love and who you love unconditionally. Sometimes you have to let go, no matter how stubborn or unfair life seems. It’s okay to cry. It‘s been a wild journey to reach where I am now, but these are the lessons I learned that I will take with me when I grow old.”
