  “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe I love this quote because I tend to be out of control. Sometimes I can’t help it. Sometimes I can’t control my feelings or impulses. I can be rude, insensitive, and be quick to anger. I need to stop and think before acting and before saying things that I can’t take back.

  You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.” I love this quote from the Wiz. It is so true. The Prince’s “call to take on a mission for the sake of something bigger than yourself” is a call that we should all heed. If we don’t heed it, we are in danger of falling asleep in our tracks, or becoming somebody we’re not supposed to be, thinking that we are happy in our own skin, but when in truth we are unhappy in our own skin.
