Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.

You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself.

---

Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.
