"Remember, no one will ever care about your life the way you care about your life. Take time to show yourself some love. You don't have to wait for anyone else to realize you're special or to feel loved because love comes from within."
Truth --- Submitted by Chianti M., Age 19 --- California
I chose this because so many of us have wasted so much of our life waiting for someone to appreciate us when really we haven't taken the time to appreciate ourselves first. If you love yourself, act like it. Take care of your body, have some fun, laugh a little more, and believe in yourself. That's how you show yourself some love. ;)

I had a lot of post-it-notes hanging around my room so I decided to make a quotes wall. While I was writing and sticking, I was leaning on my pillow and it just happened to be a nursery rhyme pillowcase from when I was younger. Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle... so I made up my own quote!
