One of Christine's favorite quotes is:""I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go⦠things go wrong so that you appreciate them when theyâre right⦠you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes-good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
"Change..we dont like it we fear it, but we cant stop it from coming, we either adapt to change or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anyone who tells you different is lying, but here is the truth. Ther more things change the more they stay the same. Sometimes oh..sometimes change is good. Some times...change is EVERYTHING!"
At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and...Expand for more
once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.
âTheres just something about those bad boys, that we always end up going back toâ
-Lauren Conrad
"Somewhere behind the athelte you've become, the hours of practice, the coaches who pushed you, the teammates who believed in you, and the fans who cheered for you is the little girl who picked up a stick, who fell in love with the game and never looked back...... play for her"
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
" To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to change you into something your not is the greatest accomplishment."".
