"You have strengths that amaze me, you can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens,
you hold happiness, love and opinions. You smile when you feel like screaming.
You sing when you feel like crying. Cry when you're happy, and laugh when you're afraid,
your love is unconditional, there's only one thing wrong with you
and that is that sometimes you forget what you are worth."
(me as described by a friend)
"It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What every body echoes or in slience passes by as true to-day may turn out to be falsehood to-morrow, mere smoke of opinion..."
from Walden by Henry David Thoreau
"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."
from Walden by Henry David Thoreau
"Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man?"
from "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes we put up walls not to keep people out,
but to see who cares enough to knock them down.
Know Me
By: Me
If you really want to know me,
Then hear me.
Don't just hear me by what I say,
For I leave a million things unsaid.
If you really want to know me,
Then watch me.
Don't just watch me by my actions,
Because I don't always do what I want to,
And they're not always true.
If you really want to know me,
Then see me.
Don't just see my mask,
See my Soul.
If you really want to know me,
Stay with me when I am weak.
If you really want to know me,
Look deep into my eyes.
If you really want to know me,
Be brave and take a chance.
If you really want to know me,
Read me.
Finding my place in this world...
Finding out who I'm supposed to be...
Learning to let go, to not give them control...

"I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!"
-Wicked
I am strong because I am weak.
I am beautiful because I know my flaws.
I am a lover because I am a fighter.
I am fearless because I have been afraid.
I am wise because I have been foolish.
And I can laugh because I've known sadness.
damaged people are dangerous because they know
THEY CAN SURVIVE
Sometimes you just feel everything and nothing all at once. Sometimes you'll find yourself smiling while missing something at the same time. At times you can absolutely love a person, all the while wanting to hate them. Life comes without guarantees. Except that Smiling will Brighten your Face, Laughing will Enhance your Eyes, and Falling in Love will Change your Life.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence
by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You are able to say to yourself,
"I have lived through this horror.
I can take the next thing that comes along..."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
"The truth is I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves.
They didn't bother to find out who and what I was.
Instead they would invent a character for me..."
-Marilyn Monroe
Unless you've lived my life,
Don't judge me because you don't know,
Never have and never will know
Every little thing and detail about me.
The way I am is not perfect
Buts all I know how to be
I'm sorry I'm not what u expect
Not what u would rather see
"Some people are settling down,
some people are settling,
and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies."
-Carrie Bradshaw
Flatter me, and I may not believe you.
Criticize me, and I may not like you.
Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.
Encourage me, and I will not forget you.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be
But everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations filled with empty words. . .
I would rather clutch my invitation and wait my turn in party clothes,
prim and proper, safe and clean.
But a pulsing hand keeps driving me over peaks and ravines and spidered brambles.
So I will pant up to the pearled knocker,
tattered and breathless and full of tales.
Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone, and more fragile than a rose.
I'm an artist.
I'm a writer.
I'm a dancer.
I went to Grace College for a year and a half, but it wasn't the right place for me.
I'm obsessed with learning. That's why I have three majors and a minor (possibly two).
I'm extremely close to my grandparents.
I'm not close to my parents though.
I'm shy.
I have a passion for art: written, visual, and performing.
I cannot stand silence...I always have music playing.
I love going to coffee shops, especially neighborhood ones. I enjoy writing at them, or just sitting and people watching
Midnight movie showings are fun, as are drive in movie theaters
I love the city, but I love being able to escape
I'm an open minded girl
I'll give anything, anyone a try and chance
I don't like to judge people, I'm not perfect and neither are you
I love the sun, but I also love the rain - especially the smell right before it starts and right after it starts
I can be a girlie girl, but I'm not afraid to get dirty
I was born on the surface of the sun...I get cold in 90 degree weather.
I love the beach.
I'm a southern girl at heart.
I enjoy all seasons, but wish winter was shorter.
I try to find the beauty in all things.
I don't have all the answers, and I don't know how everything will turn out, but I trust my heart and instinct.
