    Um i dunno. 

    “ Always Be kind”. - v wordy so Maybe that why it seems to be one, few people have not heard before ;) either that or they dont understand the meaning ;) 

    i also like “ if you want others to be happy,practice compassion, if you want to be happy, practice compassion”
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    "mosaics are made from broken pieces but they're still works of art, and so are you" Can't remember who said it but i saw it and it just kinda stuck and also this one, its kinda long so bear with me haha

    "I want you to know that you can do anything you fucking want with your life, Don't let anyone tell you different. And i wanna let you know it doesn't matter how bad things are right fucking now, they will get better. Don't let anybody beat you down so hard that you would take your life. You live your life and you stick your middle finger up and you say ' i'm gonna live'" - Kellin Quinn :)
    ' So I put a bullet where I shouda put a helmet, and I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away, that's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself 'hey, I wanna get better''
