“When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.” ~ Doctor Who

I wanted to dance among the stars
You said that I would fall
I wanted to glide on water springs
You said that I would drown

And all along I listened
You were keeping me alive
But now I think I'm learning
How to live all on my own

Maybe you weren't there for me
Not really listening
Maybe you shot me down
When I reached for the sky

Maybe I fell too hard
After you were through
Maybe I heard the voices
telling me what I already knew

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don't stay down. When in doubt, don't stop believing.

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
