My Mantra

On being human
Be your own person. Stand up for yourself and don't let doubts and insecurities get you down. Rejections happen; heartache is a reality. Life is tough but you need to be tougher. Raise your own issues but do not answer your own questions. You don't know everything about life. Seek for advice but do not listen to every opinion you hear. Your feelings and experiences differ from theirs. Never compromise your sense of individuality.

On falling in love
Do not be afraid to love. Love is a wonderful feeling. You might end up writhing in pain when love is not reciprocated; or when the so-called perfect relationship that you built your dreams upon has shattered, but at the end of the day, you will realize that the pain is insignificant and of no regard in comparison to the beauty of true love.

On letting go
Get out of destructive relationships. These are relationships that do not allow you to grow. Don't force yourself to find joy in the things that bring you pain. Always do what's best for you, but do it gracefully and never ever intentionally hurt another person, no matter how much pain that person caused you. If the person you want to be with does not belong in your life, gracefully show him or her the door. Change is necessary so deal with it. Bite the bullet and move on.
