Quotes

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are.”

Kurt Cobain

This quote means so much to me because not only am I a huge Nirvana fan, but I’m a huge advocate for everyone to be who they are.  My parents always raised me to celebrate the person I am, and I believe that no one should be ashamed of who they are.  I also believe that a person is their happiest when they are being true to themselves.  

“It's better to burn out, than to fade away”. - Neil Young

This quote spoke to me because I am a huge Neil Young fan, and because I totally agree with what he is saying.  For me, the impact I have on other people’s life is huge to me.  I refuse to be someone who is fleeting and others forget about, I want to make a big impact on everyone that I meet.

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

Nelson Mandela

I chose this quote because for me I have a lot of fear and anxiety that I deal with on a day to day basis and I struggle with fears more than most people would.  I push through that battle to keep living my life, which is extremely important to me.  I believe that I am a brave person because of all the fears that I have battled through.
