    Shortly after running into a screen door that I failed to open as I came up to it, my mother gave me the best advice I have ever heard...

    "You just have to be smarter than the door"

    Oh, and another pearl of wisdom, though I don't know if she borrowed it or not,

    "The only person you can fool all the time is yourself"

    I posted it yesterday cause it's so true! You're you, you will never look like anyone else but you're beautiful just the way you are. You may not be able to do things other people can but you have different talents, things those people can't do, you can. Don't wish you were someone else because your traits are what makes you you, and it's the reason people love you so much. Everyone has a battle to overcome and just fighting it is what makes you strong. Be the best you can be! - my mum

    Don't borrow trouble. _On worrying.
    Throw the scale away. _On weight loss.
    Breathe. _On life.

    Worrying does not change an outcome, you are resonsible for your own happiness, you are what you eat, if you get super sized you will be super sized.
