27. She was a personal shopper at Macy’s. My mom, looking out for her son, told this really cute girl she was helping find a jacket for to “look up my son on facebook.’

Well, she did, and 6 years later (2016) we got married, and my mom died 6 weeks after our wedding. She was so proud of what she did. As we sit here expecting our first child, I wish she was here every day. She would be so proud. I miss her so much.

28. Ok Cupid. First time I tried online dating, and I was the LAST person he tried meeting on online dating. I didn’t put a picture up, and he took a chance anyways. Married with a kid and a home 7 years later.

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
