Believe You Deserve Love
No matter how bad you think you are, remember there are people out there who don’t think like you. You would probably say they have less than you – less to offer, less in personality, less in looks – yet nothing stops them.

I want you to promise me that in 2013, you will spend more time with people who motivate you to be better. Promise me!
