Favorite Quote:
I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die so let me live my life the way I want to.

It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you're not.

Put down the computer.
Lock away the cell phone.
Leave the TV off.
Sit and be quiet.
Let your feelings flow.
Take time to cry,
Reflect on life.
Write a poem,
Longhand.
Think about what happened.
Remember your mistakes;
Every single one.
Feel them, know them.
Memorize them, and keep them,
As a part of you - forever.
Love what happened,
Know that it helped you.
You grew, and now,
You know.
Personal connections;
Deep as they run;
Antibiotics or the disease?

This is about doing something you regret, but learning to love what happened, because it helped you grow up and learn about yourself.
