Your friend mourns your losses with you, because they experience them too. The truth is, no matter how lonely you might feel, you’re never going through anything alone….you can choose your family.
…but the truth is that it is only in knowing who you are at your core and staying true to yourself that you can possibly see the difference between passion and real love.
You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.
Maybe just being me was enough to be loved. I wasn’t giving myself any credit.Now I knew that I h
Your power is in your individuality, in being exactly who you area.
You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.
You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.
I was into sports and dancing. I ran track. I have a lot of stamina.
When I am wrong, I will learn the lesson and move on to face other challenges. For me, that’s what creating your own life is. Doing your best work while being your best self.

I am positive – determined to move forward with my life, bring up my babies, and do the best job I can as a mother, entertainer, and person.
I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That’s what my life was.
Beauty is only skin deep. I think what’s really important is finding a balance of mind, body and spirit.
I don’t regret what I’ve been through. I’ve had ups and downs, super highs and some really low lows. I’ve been so blessed that I could never say, ‘I wish this didn’t happen.’ It’s part of who I am. There’s nothing in my life that’s so ugh.
