Weekly Inspiration

I would rather surround myself with people who make a lot of mistakes and have no problem admitting them, than to surround myself with people who think they make none.

The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness and respect. Life is short. Spend it with people who make you laugh and feel loved.
