"Drop the people who do not value you, respect you. Life has infinite horizons. Accept yourself, love yourself, and move forward."

"God gave us all wings, it's up to us to choose to fly."

I always try to balance the negative input I get every day with something lighthearted or fun. The other day I came across the song Get Happy from the musical Summer Stock.
