Remember, passing judgment on someone else's character, is only a reflection of your own.
One of the greatest joys in life is watching a child laugh
It's very crucial that you get your feelings out- but don't ever inflict harm on your body because your body is sacred
When you treat your body like a Bentley, you value yourself and you start to look at your body differently.
I learned that you go through things, you deal with them and that's what empowers you and ultimately makes you a happy person.
There’s no point to living life unless you make history and the best way to make history is to help others.
I've come to realize your career is all about the choices you make. Every single one matters.
I feel it's selfish when you don't use your voice, because then you're just relishing the attention - you're not using it for good.
Whenever you're going through stuff, it definitely reflects in the way you wear your makeup and hair. Wearing less makeup is more comfortable for me.
Skys are crying, I am watching, catching teardrops in my eyes.
I have felt uncomfortable having people say, "You're my idol," because I want them to idolize God. I want them to idolize somebody that's done a lot.
Sometimes I'm not always doing amazing but it's okay... because everyone struggles and it's okay to be flawed because that's what makes me... Me.
There's an element of trust that you don't find with people nowadays.
I’m not perfect and I don’t have to be.
Don't let anything or anyone define you. You are what you are because of what you make of tough situations in your life.
Everyday is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be.
Nothing is more beautiful than a smile that has struggled through tears
Love yourself before any other person. That's when you can really survive on your own.
Your imperfections make you beautiful, they make you who you are.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks as long as you're happy.
Don't judge me. You know my name, but not my story.
Share your story with someone. You never know how one sentence of your life story could inspire someone to rewrite their own.
Your mind . . . can be your best friend or your worst enemy, but it's your choice to make.
Stay strong, be brave, love hard and true, and you will have nothing to lose.
Whatever you dream of doing one day, don't give up on that dream because you never know where it can take you.
It's gonna be okay, no matter how hard your rock bottom is, you can rise above it and you can come back.
Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground
No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you'll find the positive side of things.
I think scars are like battle wounds - beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.
Expectations are just disappointments waiting to happen.
You don't have to wait till the beginning of a new year to make resolutions for yourself. It's all about loving and taking care of the only body you will ever have...cherish it, love it, embrace it...Because when you do...It begins to show.
Never be ashamed of what you feel. You have the right to feel any emotion that you want, and to do what makes you happy. That's my life motto.
I don't look at the criticism anymore. If somebody calls me fat, even in a vulnerable moment, I laugh to myself and think, I'm doing everything I can, so there's nothing I can do about it.
You have the capability to change your life all with a simple shift in perspective
Hearts can break and never make a sound.
I don't let anyone's insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that's all that matters to me.
Make a wish with all your heart and chase every dream you have. Only you can reach your goals. No one else can achieve them for you
I never thought that I'd be a role model. Everyone kind of just made me a role model, and I hated that.
All that matters is that you keep going no matter what
The smartest thing a woman can ever learn, is to never need a man.
An impact is like a punch it may hurt put it passes.
I'm not going to sacrifice my mental health to have the perfect body.
If positivity is what you put out in the universe, positivity is what you get.
I believe that I definitely wasn't given this voice just to sing. I think it was given to me for a bigger purpose.
I don't think I'm fixed. People think that you're like a car in a body shop. You go in, they fix you, and you're out. It takes constant fixing.
One of the hardest things was learning that I was worth recovery
The girls with prettiest smiles seem to tell saddest stories
Music is my life. Music runs through my veins. Music inspires me. Music is a part of me. Music is all around us. Music soothes me. Music gives me hope when I lose faith. Music comforts me. Music is my refuge.
Be grateful for your journey because it is yours alone.
If you're hurting, don't be afraid to seek the help you need! Speak to someone - it may just change your life.
Always remember, you are beautiful.
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, not lifestyle choices.
If I help one person out with getting through the struggles that I've had, then I've done my job on this planet and this life.
So I’m putting my defenses up, cause I don’t wanna fall in love. If I ever did that. I think I’d have a heart attack.
Sometimes it's dramatic, but mental health, as a whole, has to become mainstream.
You really need to be careful of who you hang out with and who you listen to. They can lead you down the wrong path.
If you don't feel pretty, you're wrong. If you're dealing with a problem, don't be afraid to talk. And... If you think you're alone, listen to my music 'cause I'm here for you.
People say sticks and stones may break your bones, but names can never hurt you, but that's not true. Words can hurt. They hurt me. Things were said to me that I still haven't forgotten.
Sometimes I think, 'Why couldn't I have been normal?
Go where you are wanted and stray from where you aren't. Surround yourself with positive people and environments.
You don't owe anybody the present other than yourself. Take time for you. Respect yourself and your privacy. Set boundaries.
Don't workout because you think you 'need' to, do it because your body deserves love, respect and healthy attention.
Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think.
I feel beautiful. I feel strong, and I feel confident in who I am.
Focusing on food and exercise changed my life.
Embracing yourself is important and I wish that all women would realize how beautiful they are, inside and out.
No matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Healthy living involves taking care of myself - both mentally and physically. It means surrounding myself with positive and supportive people, as well as exercising and maintaining a well-balanced diet. At this point, healthy living is just a way of life.
If I could turn back time, I would tell myself that I'm beautiful every day, because we all are! And we need to start believing it!
Every life has a purpose. Share your story and you may help someone find their own.

Enjoy your life...let loose, party hard and just have a good time :) <3
I'm not a model - I have curves. I find things that accentuate my body, a woman's body, and I always wear things that I feel comfortable in.
My stepdad provided me with an amazing childhood. I played outside like a normal kid, I rode my bike, I walked to school, but the happiest times were when I was acting.
Now on Friday nights, if I want to go hang out with friends, I go hang out with friends. If I want to stay in and be in the hot tub and have people over to watch movies, I do that.
