Favorite Quote:
&quot;Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.&quot;<br /> &quot;we often put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares to get through&quot;<br /> &ldquo;Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don&#039;t matter, and those who matter don&#039;t mind.&rdquo;

People are born and people die.
Some hold it in until they break down and cry.
Some drink until they’re numb,
And some forget where they came from.
Some survive their fights,
While others live in spite.
Some of us have destroyed our lives,
Some have cancer, others tell nasty lies.
We wonder why awful things chose us,
But we’re the loyal ones that trust.
Reminding ourselves, we cannot change the past,
May just be what makes our love last.

The author's comments:
My childhood was difficult. I notice how people have problems learning to accept what you cannot change. I hope those who read this will understand what I mean and why people shouldn't waste life focused on the past.
