The older I get the more I realize the value of privacy. Of cultivating your circle and only letting certain peole in. You can be open, honest, and real while still understanding not everyone deserves a seat at the table of your life. Never let your loyalty make a fool of you. Life will only change when you become more commited to your dreams than you are to you comfort zone. 
Bo soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Being happy never leads you out your life. Remember, when you forgive, you heal. And when you let go, you grow.
