Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point we all have to choose: do we fall back on what we know, or do we step forward to something new? It's hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us... what guides us. Our history resurfaces time after time after time. So we have to remember sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today
"I believe, I believe, I... I believe in the good. I believe that it's been a hell of a year and I believe that, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that we will be okay. I believe that believing we survive... is what makes us survive."
"Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is ... everything."
what can i write here that would best describe me? the quotes above sum up most of it. and if you know me, you definitly know that. because you know what i've been through and what i have overcome.
i could sit here and tell you all the material things i have. but let's face it....at the end of the day, those things don't matter. PERIOD.
i'm healthy, i have food in my stomach, a roof over my head, and clothes on my back. i have a loving family, amazing friends, and the best person in the world who chose to love me and have me love in return. so basically, i already have everything i need. what else matters?
nothing.
"Love is a choice. Love is alive when it is patient... it is dying when it is hurried... is dead when it cannot wait. Love is alive when it cares... it is dying when it forgets...is dead when it ignores. Love is alive when it is secure... is dying when it starts doubting... is dead when it stops trusting. Love is alive when it is giving... it is dying when it is exchanging... is dead when it is taking. Love is alive when it acts its way into a feeling... it is dying when it feels but doesn't act or when it acts but cannot feel... it is dead when it feels its way into an action."
