“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.”
— Bianca Sparacino, The Strength In Our Scars

“Stop accepting your own excuses. Stop being complacent with your own justifications. Start quantifying your days by how many healthy, positive things you accomplished, and you will see how quickly you begin to make progress.”

“I wrote this book from the deepest and most vulnerable places of my heart for the ones who need it most and the ones that didn’t know they needed it until now. It’s for the people that fall, and fall deeply for all the wonderful things there are to love in this world, even if they are left broken in the process, yet they would still do it all over again in a heartbeat. It’s for those who believe in happiness and put their heart on the line for their chance to find it. It’s for those who have ever put so much of themselves into another person that they have forgotten just how magical they are just as they are. This book is for you if you know how beautiful it feels to bloom, to grow, to love, and to become you again. This book is for you if you’re still working on that. This book is for you, and I encourage you to feel, feel every thought that comes to you when you flip through the pages. This book is your reminder that everything you’ll ever need you can find within yourself.”

“Don’t let anyone tell you that your feelings are invalid. Don’t let anyone make you think that feeling deeply makes you weak. You know what you want and you are strong enough to know what you won’t tolerate. You’re allowed to feel how you feel, and you’re allowed to be upset when someone tells you otherwise.”

“Stop stressing yourself out by thinking you have to do it all at once. Breathe in, breathe out. You’ve got this. Make progress, even if it’s slow. Slow progress is better than procrastinating. You’ll be surprised at how much faster you can get things done when you give each task the time it deserves.”

“Maybe we held on a little too long to the people who didn’t deserve us because we had more good in our hearts than they did. Maybe we saw them for how they could have been if they had a heart like ours. But they didn’t, and maybe they never will. Hearts like ours are special. They should be treasured, not broken.”
