Dreams: never die.

I'm an avid writer, and it's always been a dream of mine. But more than that, it's been an escape; a place where I can go when reality is too hard to deal with. I swear a lot. I don't dress to impress, I dress however I feel like dressing. I have a lot of emotions, and many different sides to my personality. People think I'm a 'bitch' or 'ho' because I don't like to take crap from anyone, and I hate having to prove myself to people.

I'm good at school, but I'm not a nerd. I believe in forgiveness, but don't try to fuck me over twice, because then you're the idiot. I believe that each person needs to go through a certain amount of pain in their life to understand some things, but I'm not sadist/masochistic. I care about your character, not the color of your skin, your sexual preference, or how pretty you are.

I hate happy endings, because it bothers me how unrealistic they are. Nobody ever talks about the bad times, do they?

I'm a romantic, but I don't like being pampered or complimented too often. I don't believe in the whole concept of everyone having "one soul mate" and I don't think love should happen at first sight - but hey, things change, right?

I'm Christian and I believe in God, but I judge you on your present, not your past.

More than anything, I believe life is something beautiful that should be cherished. Don't waste it.

What would you attempt if you knew you would not fail?

If you can dream it, you can do it.

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Nothing is impossible.

I've been to the bottom; I've been to the top,

I've hated; I've loved,

I've smiled; I've cried,

I've watched people around me die on the inside,

And almost succumbed to the same,

But what gives me hope more than anything else,

Is knowing that I beat it,

And even though I fear it's coming back,

I know I'm strong enough to beat it again.

That's the true meaning of courage.

I'm not emo, I'm not goth, I'm not depressed, but I'm not overly happy. I guess you could say I'm average. I've had some pretty bad shit happen to me in the past, but I know that other people have gone through worse, and in the end, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I've hurt; I've cried. I've suffered from terrible things that hatched inside me; I've lost friends, I've lost connections, I've lost deep bonds. I've made mistakes, but I don't regret them. They make me stronger, after all. I'm still recovering from certain things, and I know that path is much harder to take than to stay in the same direction, but I'm trying. I'm not perfect, even thought I've spent my entire life trying to be, because in the end, perfection is such a terrible ugly thing that can destroy you, rip you to shreds, and leave you lying in a pile on the floor. I'm misunderstood, I've judged too harshly, and I've done things I shouldn't have done. But that's life, isn't it? Knowing that you've always got the opportunity to make yourself better.

There are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle.

The other is as though everything is a miracle.
