About Me

in a person's life -
the day we are born
and the day we discover why."

Beauty is not in the face;
beauty is a light in the heart.

(February 4, 2008)
"I can be selfish, impatient, and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle...
But if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."
