"Remember to say no when saying yes becomes too hard, to give yourself time to heal and love again — there's no reason to rush things; to schedule time to take care of yourself — you cannot pour from an empty cup; to never give up because something may be challenging or take time. You are strong. You are capable. You are worthy." - T. Moule
