Bring It.

"Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it, too. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."
                              -Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance


While this is obviously not a quote from a song, it is a quote that I find extremely heartfelt and true.
It sucks when you feel like you're not the prettiest or the best at something, or even when you feel like you're not worth anything at all. Believe me, I've been there and back more times than I or probably anyone else could count. But there's two ways of looking at things. Sure, you could sit around and feel sorry for yourself because you don't think it's worth it. Or, you could say, "Screw it" and completely remove all that negetive junk from your head. You can stick up that middle finger to everything, anyone, everyone who has ever said no. It's possible. It takes a lot of courage and strength, but it is possible. You gotta look the world straight in the eye and say, "Bring it."
Now granted, I will admit that it's next to impossible to keep your chin up all the time, 24/7. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person. But it's that strength and courage I mentioned earlier that helps with that. No matter what your situation is, if you have this mentality, it helps. A bunch.
