About Me

Life is pretty much a constant dilemma; one moment you are sure you have made the right choice, and the next you realise it was wrong. The truth is that we are all the same beasts that we were thousands of years ago; and in the end we are all going to mess up. You live and learn, you think and breathe, but no-one is perfect and no world will ever be utopian. It’s with that in mind that I keep moving; striving to be better, learning to suppress what it is to be human.

she will be loved

I don't mind spending every day, out on your corner in the pouring rain, look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay a while.
