I have everything I could ever want. Through whatever kind fates, the years have brought into my life good friends. I have reconnected with my dearest and oldest friend, someone I have known since 1st grade, she is the older sister I never had. And I stress older. I've watched as friends have built their own families, and it gives me hope for the future. And my GF...she is my heart and world.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac
"A speaker is but a prater; a rhyme is but a balled; a good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow: but a good heart...is the sun...for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly. If thou would have such a one, take me...take a king." - Henry V
