Do you know what they say about life?

Life and all its complexities leave us scratching our heads at times. Thankfully, others have been down the same path we are now on, and have left us their wisdom and advice. With their carefully crafted words, they can lift us up, inspire us and help us see that what we are experiencing isnt just unique to us, that others have faced the same peaks and valleys and conquered them. Quotes about life can help us see our own lives through the eyes of others, helping us get through the tough times, knowing better days are ahead. Many great people have come before us. Through their actions and through their words, they have inspired us to achieve our own greatness in life, to challenge the status quo, to reach for the stars and to overcome the gravest of hardships.

It was too early on a Sunday morning to be up, but here I was sitting in my kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. The hardest part of being with Val is amount of hate I receive - my tears were streaming down my face just thinking about it. I scrolled through my comments reading the hate on a photo of Val and I.

They were so cruel about it, it's as if they had no soul - they were actually fighting about who Val should date. They said I wasn't perfect enough to date him or I was just ugly.

I turned my screen off, leaving me in the complete darkness. I made my towards my pantry, I pulled out Val's rum bottle - pulling the cap off, I started letting the cold, burning sensations down my throat.

Val was out in New York to meet his manager - after drinking half the bottle, I placed the bottle on the counter trying to keep myself steady but ended up sitting on the ground crying.

Keys jingled in the door then it opened slowly, there was shuffling before the lights turned on.

"J, baby?" Val called out, walking around the corner. "Oh god, what's wrong?" He questioned, helping me off the ground.

"Don't. Don't touch me.." I slurred, moving away from his grip.

"J, calm down." He shook his head, grabbing a warm water bottle. "Drink this." He handed it to me.

After finishing the water, I leaned back on the counter to keep my balance - My head was still foggy.

"What's wrong?" Val stepped towards me.

"Everybody hates me." I said, starting tearing up.

"Baby," Val sighed, taking my hand. "I love you, your friends and family love you. Don't listen to the jealous assess out there."

"It hurts Val, to know people don't want us together or anything."

Val pulled into a hug, rubbing my back softly - he hummed 500 miles in my ears.

"Remember, I love you and only you."

I placed a hand on my forehead, trying to take a deep breath. Waking up, my head felt a little heavy but my phone wouldn't stop buzzing. I grabbed it, seeing people tagging me in Val's new photo.

It was a photo of me and him from the other night, his caption made me smile softly.

I'm in love with this woman and nobody's gonna change that, people try to break her down and make her feel bad about herself. Those are the people who need help. Has she ever done anything to you? I really don't think so, leave my baby girl alone because she doesn't deserve hate, she deserves all the love she can get. I love you so much @janelparrish my queen..

I placed my phone on my lap, he probably wasn't perfect but he definitely the perfect one for me.

My thoughts came to a close when the bedroom door opened and Val walked in, he had a grin on his face that just made my heart flutter every time I see it.

"How do you feel?" Val sat down beside me, watching me closely. "I feel better, mostly because of you.."

Val smiled, kissing my temple softly. He had this look in his eyes that I couldn't quite place but it was a good look.

"I have to go meet My brother but, you'll be fine right?" Val said, getting up off the bed. "I'll be great, you go have fun."

Val nodded, kissing me once more before leaving. I rolled my eyes with a playful smile before checking the reminders on my phone.

One reminders practically made me jump out of bed: my period.. This was not good at all! I was at least two weeks late.

Okay, made its just not coming yet, don't panic it could also be a mistake. My heart was thumping and it was just fear and something I couldn't describe.

Jumping out of bed, I quickly went to shower and get dressed. I walked down the stairs, grabbing my bag and sunglasses.

The car ride to publix excruciatingly long, if I was pregnant my life would change forever. At the same time, it could be a great thing -- a baby boy or baby girl.

When I finally got to publix, I pulled my sunglasses on and started walking toward the entrance.

I looked around for a while grabbing a box of pregnancy tests, some sour cream and onion chips and some candy bars.

The cashier sent me a sympathetic smile as she rang up the item -- she told me the total as I quickly swiped my card.

"Have a nice day." She nodded, handing me my bag.

Val was home when I got back, I stuffed the tests in my bag then walked inside the house -- where he laid on the couch.

"Had fun with Maks?" I questioned placing the plastic bag beside him. "Yeah, he actually wanted me to tell you high." Val nodded, taking out a bar of snickers.

"Okay, let me go change them I'll be right back!"

Walking up the stairs, the anticipation in the pit of my stomach was growing. I need to know and it just could wait any longer.

I locked the bathroom door and opened the kit, after going through the very detailed procedures I had to wait.

Looking up at the mirror, my reflection looked happy but inside of me was just ready to pass out.

I looked down at the test and my breath hitched in my throat.
