if you're waiting for them to make you feel like you're enough you'll be waiting a long time

if you could accept that perfection is impossible what would you stop obsessing over

you lose everything when you don't love yourself - and gain everything when you do

i am not my worst days i am not what happened to me - reminder

i'm either romanticising the past or i'm busy worrying about the future it's no wonder i don't feel alive i'm not living in the only moment that's real - present

how can i be so cruel to myself when i'm doing the best i can - be gentle

i'm breathing aren't i that's gotta be a sign that the universe is on my side if i've made it this far i can make it all the way

you didn't lose it happiness has always been here - you just lost perspective

what we lived through is living in us

our pain is the doorway to our joy

if someone doesn't have a heart you can't go around offering them yours

why does everything become less beautiful once it belongs to us

i'm too in love with my life to be spilling all over the floor for the next man who gives me butterflies when i could look in the mirror and take my own breath away

a man can't give me anything i can't give myself - things i wish i could tell the younger me

i'm careful about who i spend my energy on - i know my worth

we've ruined our only home for convenience and profit neither of which will be useful once the earth can't breathe

i was trying to fit into a system that left me empty - capitalism

productivity is not how much work i do in a day but how well i balance what i need to stay healthy - being productive is knowing when to rest

no one is qualified to decide your worth you wake up and live your life every day yours is the only opinion of you that matters

if you tried and didn't end up where you wanted to go that's still progress

not everything you do has to be self-improving you are not a machine you are a person without rest your work can never be full without play your mind can never be nourished - balance

i became confident once i decided that having fun was far more important than my fear of looking silly - dancing in public

don't sleep on the doormat of your potential waiting for things to happen when you could be the thing that happens

i'm not interested in an feminism that thinks simply placing women at the top of oppressive systems is progress

there is a conversation happening inside you pay deep attention to what your inner world is saying

i stopped resisting the unpleasant feelings and accepted that happiness hat nothing to do with feeling good all the time - balance

it's easy to love the nice things about ourselves but true self-love is embracing the difficult parts that live in all of us - acceptance

why escape yourself when you are so beautiful get closer to your shine

make it a point to love yourself as fiercely as you do other people - commitment

you do not belong to the future of the past - you belong right here

I'm Cuban, so I know a lot of people who act like vampires. But wait, vampires have to be invited to your house, so maybe they are nothing like Latinos!

I have the cliche 'struggling actor' story. I was waiting tables in New York, went out to L.A. soon after graduation to get some jobs, but it didn't work out. I wanted to cut my teeth in professional theater, so I came back to New York. It made my journey a longer one, but I really wanted to excel in the theater.

I feel like I'm worried about my later years in life because I feel like I'm using up so much good karma right now. There's going to be some sort of karmic backlash somewhere down the road.
