Experience is the best teacher & lessons.
It doesn’t make you strong to shut yourself off numb yourself. That’s a coping mechanism but it’s the sign of weakness, not strength. Strength comes in how you handle the pain.
Experience is the best teacher & the darkest time is the precious lesson. We can’t avoid or run away, just be tough, smart & optimistic.
The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets 
You can’t change how people feel about you 
You are in competition with no one 
You can’t count on others to respect your feelings
