Don't try to be perfect. Life isn't; no one is. Use mistakes and mishaps as opportunities to grow tolerance and to teach. There is such a thing as happy accidents. And love, love, love and listen, listen, listen. – Teri Hatcher

I Wish
I wish I had a healthy relationship with my mother. It was fine when we were both younger, but as I've grown up and developed into the young woman I am today, I have created strong beliefs and opinions about various topics that she has as well, and considering the fact that we are both…
