زندگی بہت آسان ہو جاتی ہے جب آپ کو یہ احساس ہو جاتا ہے کہ ہر چیز پر آپ کا قابو نہیں ہو سکتا۔
Life is a lot easier when you realize that you're not in control of it all.

میرے پاس خود میری ذات ہے۔ میرے پاس خدا ہے۔ میرے پاس میرا بیٹا ہے۔ باقی سب چیزیں تو محض اضافی ہیں۔
I have me. I have God. I have my son. Everything else is extra.

زندگی اس ڈر کے بغیر جیو کہ دوسرے آپ کے بارے میں کیا سوچیں گے، کیونکہ دوسرے گناہگاروں کی رائے کی کوئی وقعت نہیں ہوتی۔
Live life without being afraid of judgment from others because judgment from other sinners is invalid.

मुझे اپنے کمرے میں بیٹھ کر یہ سوچنا یاد ہے کہ کہاں سب کچھ غلط ہو گیا اور کیسے میں نے ہر چیز پر سے اپنا قابو کھو دیا، اور تب مجھے احساس ہوا کہ میں نے اپنے آپ سے ایک سوال نہیں پوچھا تھا: اور پھر کیا ہوگا؟ یہ میرے لیے سب سے بڑا سبق تھا۔ میں نے کسی بھی قدم کو اٹھانے سے پہلے اس کے نتائج کے بارے میں سوچنا سیکھا اور اسی بات نے آج تک مجھے بہت سی مشکلات سے بچایا ہے۔ اگر آپ زندگی کے ہر قدم کو سوچ سمجھ کر چلیں گے، تو آپ بہتر فیصلے کر پائیں گے۔
I remember sitting in my room and thinking of where it all went wrong and how I ended up losing control of everything, and I realized I hadn't asked myself one question: And then what? That was my most important lesson. I learned to think about the consequences before the action and that saves me, to this day, from a lot of trouble. If you play it down the line, you'll start making better choices.

ہم سب جانتے ہیں کہ ان چھوٹے سیاہ فام بچوں کا کیا انجام ہوتا ہے جن کے پاس باپ کا سایہ نہیں ہوتا؛ ہم نے یہ سب سنا ہے اور سمجھتے ہیں۔ لیکن کوئی بھی اس حقیقت پر بات نہیں کرتا کہ وہ نوجوان لڑکیاں جو باپ کے بغیر پیدا ہوتی ہیں، انہیں کتنی سنگین مشکلات کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے، خاص طور پر جب ان کی ماں کی زندگی میں بھی باپ کا سایہ نہ ہو اور وہ خود بھی مسائل کا شکار رہی ہوں۔
We know what happens to little black boys that have no dads; we've heard that, we get it. But no one is really saying that young women who are born without fathers have real serious issues especially when their mother had no father and the mother has issues.

کسی سے محبت کرنے کا اصل راز یہ ہے کہ آپ اسے اس طریقے سے پیار کریں جس کی اسے ضرورت ہے، نہ کہ اس طریقے سے جس سے آپ اسے پیار کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔
The thing about loving someone is that you have to love them the way they need to be loved and not the way you want to love them.

غلط فیصلے کرنا اور غلط جیون ساتھی کا انتخاب کرنا آپ کی پوری زندگی کو طویل عرصے کے لیے، شاید ہمیشہ کے لیے تباہ کر سکتا ہے۔
Making bad decisions and choosing the wrong partner can ruin your life for a long time, perhaps forever.

لوگ آپ کی روشنی سے اس لیے کھنچے چلے آتے ہیں کیونکہ وہ اسے خود پانا چاہتے ہیں۔ یہ جگنووں کی طرح ہے۔ جب ہم نیویارک میں بچے تھے، تو ہم اپنے والد سے ملنے جاتے تھے اور جگنو پکڑتے تھے کیونکہ ان کی روشنی ہمیں بہت مقناطیس کی طرح اپنی طرف کھینچتی تھی۔ ہم انہیں اپنے بستر کے پاس شیشے کے برتن میں رکھ دیتے تھے، اور پھر وہ مر جاتے تھے۔ پھر اگلی رات ہم باہر جاتے اور دوسرا جگنو پکڑ لیتے۔ لوگ بھی بالکل ایسے ہی ہوتے ہیں۔
People are attracted to your light because they want it for themselves. It's like fireflies. When we were kids in New York, we would visit my dad and catch fireflies because we were so attracted to their light. Put them in jars next to our bed, and then they'd die. Then we'd go out the next night and get another firefly. That's how people are.

میری خوشی اس بات کو سمجھنے سے ملی کہ میرا مقصد کیا ہے، جو کہ ایماندار بننا اور ایسی باتیں لوگوں سے شیئر کرنا ہے جو عام طور پر لوگ نہیں کرتے، تاکہ دوسری خواتین کی حوصلہ افزائی کی جا سکے اور ان کا بھلا ہو سکے۔ مجھے یہ دیکھ کر بہت خوشی ہوتی ہے کہ میرے تجربات دوسری خواتین کو امید دیتے ہیں اور انہیں یہ دکھاتے ہیں کہ خدا کسی کی زندگی کو کہاں سے کہاں پہنچا سکتا ہے۔
My happiness came from learning my purpose, which is to be honest and to share things that normal people probably wouldn't share, in an effort to support and uplift other women. I love that my journey gives other women hope, letting them see how far God can bring a soul.

جب میں مروں گی، تو یہ دنیا میرے بارے میں بات کرے گی۔ وہ مجھے کبھی نہیں بھولیں گے اور مجھے اپنے کسی بھی کام پر کوئی پچھتاوا نہیں ہوگا۔ اگر کچھ اور نہیں، تو کم از کم دنیا یہ ضرور جانتی ہوگی کہ میں یہاں موجود تھی۔ میرا ماننا ہے کہ ہر انسان کو جہاں بھی ہو، اپنی موجودگی کا نقش چھوڑنا چاہیے۔ آپ کے جانے کے بعد بھی لوگ آپ کے بارے میں بات کرتے رہیں گے۔ اپنی زندگی میں کوئی ایسا نشان چھوڑ جائیں۔ اپنی زندگی بھرپور طریقے سے جیو۔
When I die, the world is going to talk about me. They will never forget me and I will never have any regrets. If nothing else, the world will know I was here. I think that everyone should make their mark wherever they are. They will talk about you way after you're gone. Make your mark. Live your life.

मुझे अच्छे से याद है कि जब मैं छोटी थी, तो मेरी माँ अक्सर मुझसे कहती थीं कि अपनी निजी बातें बाहर वालों को मत बताओ। तब मैं सात साल की होगी और सोचती थी कि इसका क्या मतलब है।
I remember specifically my mother telling me growing up don't put my business in the street. I was like seven, and I am like, 'What does that mean.

मुझे किसी एक दायरे में नहीं बाँधा जा सकता। मैं सब कुछ हूँ। मैं हर चीज़ की रानी हूँ। और हर औरत ऐसी ही होती है।

जब आप खुद को परिभाषित करने लगते हैं, तो आप खुद को सीमाओं में जकड़ लेते हैं और मैं किसी भी बंधन में नहीं फँसना चाहती क्योंकि मैं हमेशा विकसित होती रहूँगी - मैं हमेशा बदलूँगी। पानी की तरह, मैं कई रूप ले लेती हूँ। हर किसी को ऐसा ही होना चाहिए और खुद को किसी एक सीमा में नहीं बाँधना चाहिए। मैं सब कुछ हूँ।
When you start defining yourself, you put yourself in boxes and I don't want to be trapped in anything because I will always evolve - I will always change. It's like water. I take on many shapes. Everyone should be that way and not define themselves. I am everything.

ऐसी बहुत सी बातें हैं जिन्हें मैंने किसी के साथ साझा नहीं किया है और कभी करूँगी भी नहीं। मेरी भी एक निजी ज़िंदगी है।

जहाँ तक पुरुषों के साथ मेरे रिश्तों का सवाल है, ज़ाहिर है, ज़िंदगीभर सहे गए उत्पीड़न ने मेरे हर काम पर गहरा असर डाला। मैं हमेशा से एक ऐसे नज़रिए से जीी हूँ जो उत्पीड़न पर आधारित था, और जाने-अनजाने मैं उसे चाहती थी, स्वीकार करती थी और अपनाती भी थी क्योंकि मेरे लिए वही सब सामान्य था। मुझे कभी इसमें कुछ अजीब नहीं लगा।
When it comes to my interpersonal relationships with men, of course, a lifetime of abuse vastly affected everything I did. I always came from a place of abuse, actually wanting, welcoming, and accepting it because that was my language. It never seemed strange to me.

मेरी सोच हमेशा से मर्दों जैसी रही है, यही वजह है कि ज़्यादातर मेरे दोस्त पुरुष ही हैं और मैं हमेशा ऐसे ही माहौल में रही हूँ। मैं बचपन से ही एक लड़कों जैसी स्वभाव वाली (टॉमबॉय) लड़की रही हूँ। और जो भी पुरुष मुझे जानता है, वह आपको बता देगा कि मैं कोई नखरे वाली या अति-नारीवादी लड़की नहीं हूँ।
I've always had a man's mindset, and that's why I mostly have men friends and that's why I've been around so many men. I've always been a tomboy. And any man that knows me will tell you I'm not a girly girl.

मैं पाँच साल की उम्र से लिख रही हूँ। मैं हाई स्कूल और उससे पहले जूनियर हाई से ही किताबें लिखती आ रही हूँ। मैं हर रोज़ लिखती हूँ। मैंने कभी सोचा नहीं था कि मेरी किताबें कभी छपेंगी भी।
I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.

जहाँ तक अंदर से ठीक होने की बात है, तो वह लिखने से, जीने और लिखने से आती है। यही मेरा कैथार्सिस (मन की शुद्धि का ज़रिया) है। यही वजह है कि मुझे अपनी बातें साझा करने पर कभी अफसोस नहीं होता क्योंकि यह मेरी ही हीलिंग प्रक्रिया का हिस्सा है!
As for the healing, that comes from the writing, from living and writing. That's my catharsis. That's why I never regret sharing because it's part of my healing!

मैं चाहती हूँ कि [महिला फैंस] ज़िंदगी जीने से न डरें, गलत फैसले लेने से न डरें क्योंकि उन फैसलों में ढेरों सीख और आशीर्वाद छिपे होते हैं। कई बार, जब तक आप मुश्किलों के गर्त में नहीं गिरते, तब तक आप भगवान को याद नहीं करते।
I want them [female fans] to not be afraid to live life, to not be afraid to make bad decisions because there are a lot of lessons and blessings in those decisions. Sometimes, if you don't fall into the pit, you won't reach out to God.
