Personal Quotes

What you create for you, no one can take from you.

My main goal in life is to just be happy. I don’t compromise my happiness for anything. If I find what makes me happy I’m going to do that. That’s really going with the flow of life. As far as like the mainstream stuff, if my destiny takes me there and I end up going that route, then that’s fine.

Cause nothing really is and everything really isn’t.

Life only gets harder, but you gotta get stronger.

Females in our generation morals are just out the window. Materialistic things aren’t life. I’d rather walk in the rain with a man who treats me like a queen than to ride in a Benz with a man who treats me like crap. 8Source: azquotes.com
