Quotes to live by:
"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever." - Nicholas Sparks
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You are a child of God. You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers... the ones who see things differently. they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.†- Steve Jobs
"Change doesn't happen without dramatic events that accelerate thinking. Some things don't happen until decades before it anchors in the consciousness." - M. Night Shyamalan
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can & the wisdom to know the difference." - AA
"If only the good things lasted longer...If only it didn't have to come to an end...But it's the absence in which makes us realize what we had was good." - Me
There is a little truth behind every "just kidding". A little curiousity behind every "just wondering". A little knowledge behind every "I don't know". And A little emotion behind every "I don't care". - Kelsey
The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or in defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment. - Bruce Lee
Acceptance, denial and conviction prevent understanding. Let your mind move together with another's in understanding with sensitivity. Then, there is a possibility of real communication. To understand one another, there must be a state of choiceless awareness where there is no sense of comparison or condemnation, no waiting for a further development of discussion in order to agree or disagree. Above all, don't start from a conclusion. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception." - Bruce Lee
"Of course, indifference can be tempting -- more than that, seductive. It is so much easier to look away from victims. It is so much easier to avoid such rude interruptions to our work, our dreams, our hopes. It is, after all, awkward, troublesome, to be involved in another person's pain and despair. Yet, for the person who is indifferent, his or her neighbours are of no consequence. And, therefore, their lives are meaningless. Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest. Indifference reduces the other to an abstraction." - Elie Wiesel
"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect & I don't live to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean." - Bob Marley
"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can." - John Wesley
"Life has a bright side and a dark side, for the world of relativity is composed of light and shadows. If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil, you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty." - Paramahansa Yogananda
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." - Anonymous
"Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart." - Martin Luther King, Jr
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love." - Washington Irving
"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the old, you derive security; from the new, you gain the flow." -Bruce Lee
"Well-behaved women rarely make history."
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free."
+ Music: good for the soul!
To put it simply, I listen to absolutely everything.

"When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends."
My sister is an inspiration to me. My dad, the one & only man I have loved whole heartedly. My friends are like fam to me. They've kept me sane all these years & much more to come.
