Favorite Quote:
"Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away."

I hope you know how sorry I am
for forgetting to call you back.
I hope you know how proud I am
of how brave you've become.

I hope you know how much I laugh
at all those corny jokes,
Or how often it is I look at
those old ancient photos.

I hope you know I plan to keep every promise
I've ever made with you;
I hope you know how grateful I am
that you've been here all along.
I
hope you know how much I miss you
and those big eyes of yours;
I hope you know how much I love you,
even when I forget to reply.

And in case you've forgotten all these things,
I hope this poem helps you remember.

This poem was written to my best friend, Kacie. She moved away a few years back and we only see each other for holidays and summer time, however, we have still remained best friends.

&quot; if your living, but do not act as one should when they are alive, then you are simply dead inside, and filling in empty space. So take risks, be reckless, the world will scorn you anyways so why not it be by your own causing &quot;
