The man who sacrifices his life to save a child from drowning, though he may have never painted in his life, gave a gift. The woman who does not eat so that her children can, though she cannot sing, gave a gift. The friend who listens, when no one else does, gave you a gift. We all have gifts to give.
Remember that.
"I can't be bothered to remember what act it is that I'm suppose to be playing out during social situations to make everyone feel at ease and think that I fit in to the cookie cutter human mold too."
"I was given this life, and it is nobody's responsibility to coddle me into happiness, that is my own job here. Everyone has a sad story, some people have many, but it's what we choose to do about our own life that matters, not the past--it's dead."
"I don't care about what society thinks a woman should be, or how they should look. I don't care about being young or old, age or wrinkles, or what anyone else thinks I should be doing or saying or acting like. Those things don't exist to me."

'I thought I'd be used to the cold by now.
It's been so long.
He probably feels the same way. That's why he is the way he is...
but I only feel empty
Happiness, once within me...dies.
Now, the empty space only allows the cold in.
Deeper, deeper, sharper. No way out.
Almost as if temperature does not exist.
The cold rises.
I sleep, to dream of when he "loved me"
but i freeze.
eyes wide open. I'm still here.
I realize. again.
those memories are gone...
and as i'm frozen in time, i can't move on.
Time.
It plays its tricks. But i no longer fall for them.
I would let go.
fade.
freeze..like everything else.
The only thing that is stopping me is my heart.
It won't give in to the cold.
Restless.
It still loves.
Because our promises were to never stop loving each other.
And while I kept mine...
...he never kept his.'

'It’s all a math game. If you spend enough money and spray enough phony applications around the country, statistically one of them’s going to hit pay dirt. And don’t worry about being nailed for doing it years later. If you’re bringing enough cash into a firm, they won’t care if you’re a registered sex offender. Most of your fellow litigators will respect you for it – call it “brilliant, daring strategy.'

A first romantic relationship has one critical novel element: "It's the only time you're ever in love where you've never had your heart broken," says Laura Carpenter, a sociologist and author at Vanderbilt University. "You can have better relationships after that, but there's never again one where you've never been hurt ."
So if you're overly focused on a negative event as a turning point in your life, ask yourself: Is what happened truly a reflection of who you are? Or would others have made the same choices given the same circumstances?
"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you."
