Life doesn't turn out as we expect it to. When we come out into the world, our future seems as smooth and unmarred as virgin snow. It is an illusion, of course, and soon we weave a web of mistakes and failures as much as achievements and triumphs, and become used to walking on broken pavements rather than on paths of gold. It is what makes life so interesting, one quickly learns that one never knows what is going to happen next. -elizabeth aston

"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up."--Jesse Jackson

People are gonna hurt you, people will betray you - some asshole is gonna break your heart one day & someday you will be that asshole; some days you are gonna want to scream at the top of your lungs and kill everyone around you & the next day you might feel like you're on top of the world - friends will come and go but each one will have an impact on your life and teach something every day you're gonna learn something new, some things you might not want to know every mistake is the greatest lesson to learn * you will laugh until your stomach hurts; some people are gonna hate you, others will love you - either way it shouldn't matter but when the day is done all you need to do is sit back and laugh at this thing called Life.

"Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you' re just as pretty without make-up on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU.The one who turns to his friends and says, "thats her"."

You don't get harmony when everybody sings the same note. ~Doug Floyd
