people who act too grown-upThings in Which I'm Confident:
I do not know everything.
I would like to know everything.
People will always make judgments before finding out the facts.
The world will be around much longer than we will
Life can never be like the movies; maybe unless it's a horror flick
To avoid a life with conflict is to pursue death.
People need things to do; living without something to work for will only cause you to deteriorate.
I will more than likely have the feeling that I am a one of a kind until the day I die; and chances are that I'll always feel there is no one else to relate to as well.Those Things Which I'm Most Afraid of:
Failure
Making Mistakes
Drastic Changes
Starting Over: Although I'm in love with the idea at the same time.
Relationships
