I credit staying positive through many tough situations for where I am today, it wasn’t always easy, and I wasn’t ALWAYS able to stay positive, but whatever you can muster up helps a ton. So I wanted to take this time to post some of the quotes that have kept me going over the years. Thankful to these amazing humans for their wise words. (I tried my best to correctly source all of the quotes but there is potential for mistake so please correct me if I am wrong, thanks!)
