Always rely on yourself and not on others. Be independent from people, yet strong for yourself when no person is there for you. ~ Brigitte Nicole

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way to realize your own worth.

You learn to be there for yourself when everything else seems to have fallen apart.

Being your own best friend is a life essential. I encourage everyone to learn the difference between solitude and loneliness. I know so many people who are with someone (often a poor choice of "someone" too) rather than be alone. ~ Heather Malone
