Ive Got 2,

"Life is too short, grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, laugh when you can, apoligize when you should, and let go of what you cant change, Love deeply and forgive quickly, take chances, give everything and have no regrets Life is too short to be unhappy You have to take the good with the bad smile when your sad love what you got and always remember what you had, always forgive but NEVER forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret, people change, things go wrong but remember life goes on!"

and the second:
"I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that! so try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me... You WONT succeed!! and if that makes me a B***H so be it. I embrace the title and i am proud to bear it"
