MOTTOS

If you are not strong, it’s simple the answer is be strong! :D

-Someone outside there-

If you want a rainbow, you need to deal with the rain and storm first, that’s life.

-Anonymous-

Nobody has it is easy. Everybody is fighting their own unique war. All is different

kind of path. But we cannot expect everyone to understand our journey. Be kind.

Always.

-Alyssa Soebandono-

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn

to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you

believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes

good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

-Marilyn Monroe-
