Growing Up Quotes
You know, sometimes we make decisions about our life and they feel like the right decision at the time. No, they are the right decisions at the time. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be right decisions forever, and you know what I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older? There isn’t a definite right and wrong anyway. Sometimes we do what seems wrong but we have good reasons for doing it so it’s not so wrong after all.

You didn’t get to be pretty or smart or popular just because you wanted it. You didn’t control your own destiny. You were too busy trying to fit in.
