It’s incredible how much of an impact words can have. Some words can inspire you to take a completely new path or a new career path, motivating you to start a business or move to another country. While sometimes, words can bring you to the edge and brink of your emotions.

Here are some things we’ve been told that have entirely changed our lives.

1. I think we should be friends. 

2. You are exactly like your father. 

3. Thought you’d achieve more in life. 

4. You have such a beautiful smile. 

5. Do you want to get coffee? 

6. You were always going somewhere, sis. 

7. “Ang gulu-gulu ang buhay mo”
Your life is such a mess* 

8. You make loving you really hard.
