"Focus on you versus you, and not compare yourself to anyone else because you're not anyone else. You're you. You're exactly where you should be, and you're going through exactly what you need to go through to come out stronger." "If you're looking at the obstacle, you're only going to see the obstacle. But if you look at the path, you're going to see the path around the obstacle." "Vulnerability is a sign of strength." "If you are not happy in your mind and your brain is not healthy, and you're not working on self-love, then you will never be happy no matter what you look like."
