There are so many things that make a great doctor, but being able to make someone laugh while going through something unpleasant — especially if that person is a scream-prone toddler — is simply awesome. Special mention goes to his graceful save when you can tell the kid is about to cry, and he brings in the heavy artillery, aka tissues. Someone please tell me he’s in my insurance network! 
This Amazing Doctor Has Children Laughing Through Getting Their Shots

Chelsea Fagan,
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
