I don think ive said to many serious things that can be admired and arent totally foolish, but my all time favorite quote is "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly." - Robert F. Kennedy


I thought I knew you,
Clearly I was wrong,
I thought I knew everything,
I was incorrect,
I thought you were the one,
I was mistaken,
I thought you were perfect,
That’s false now,

But what if I did know you?
What if you changed?
Maybe I’m wrong again,
But I know If I’m right, I truly miss the old you.

The old you who told the truth,
The old you who was modest and simple,
The old you who would loved the Yankees more then life,
The old you who lived off of pizza and skittles,
Always apologized, was silly and a good friend.

If the old you is still in there,
Tell him I say hello,
And I deeply miss him.

I think everyone knows someone who has changed for the good or the bad, in my case it was the bad, and i miss the old person, the one i could talk hours with and still have a million things to say and thats what inspired me to write this.

Everyone's crazy. You know why? We all want to be normal. Well, we cant define normal, and, the people you can point at and say, well isn't he/she normal are rare. Doesnt that kind of defeat the pupose of normal? -My Friend

The message in this is really amazing. It's hard to write about soemthign so deep, and this is way better than i would have expected. I enjoyed it.
