Some people don't necessarily have family helping them or anyone, even friends, that care enough to help. ”

I'm not a spiritual person, but I really believe in the power of the mind and I really believe in manifesting things. ”

I'm not religious, but I feel like there has to be a higher power up there. ”

It's nice to stand out and not have to conform to all the beauty standards that just don't even make sense anymore. ”

I definitely need to learn how to take compliments, because it was very weird to go from sitting in my house all of the time to having hundreds of people coming up to me and congratulating me and telling me I did a good job. ”

I think any time I'm nervous I just pretend that I'm not, and that's how I deal with it. ”

I never counted how many tattoos I have, but I started getting them at a really young age, so most of my big ones are cover-ups. ”

It's really nice to have hobbies that don't involve any sort of technology. ”

For me, if I didn't have reading I'd go absolutely crazy. It really helps me to unplug from the whole world, and keep my sanity, and be able to fill my time with something other than technology. ”

I buy a lot of random books, and it's really hard to immediately fall asleep if I've been staring at a screen, so reading and trying to put my phone away maybe an hour before I go to sleep are two of my go-to strategies before bed. ”
