Favorite Quote:
life is hard, but it could be harder
Suicide is for people who are too weak for the real world.
Those who dance are thought to be crazy by those who don’t hear the music.
People change, things go wrong. Just remember, life goes on.
What you feed your mind is what it gives back to you!
Be conscious of your subconscious mind. It’s the storage area for all the things you don’t pay attention to. It will eventually yield and even take over your conscious mind.
Life is all about challenges. To become an over comer, you don’t have to allow obstacles to become an impediment, but rather a stepping stone to your goals.
I have failed over and over in my life and that is why I succeed.
Imitation is Limitation.
Life is like a novel with the end ripped out.
Life is like a game of baseball
You’ll never know if you make the home run
UNLESS YOU SWING
Life is about creating yourself, not finding yourself!
There could be many options in your life, but before this life you had no option. So live with it
Life is like a dream. There’s good times and there’s nightmares. Life will only last so long, but your dreams will go on forever.
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about dancing in the rain..!”
“Enjoy what you can, endure what you must”
Love never ends, but life does.
Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out
Love is like a rainbow: the more you see it, the more you realize what a miracle it really is.
Life is about falling – Living is about getting backup.
never have regrets, because at one point everything you did in life was exactly what you wanted
“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
Dreams are like stars…one blows up and another one gets brighter
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present.
You only live once, but if you work it right, once is enough.
God, if I can’t have what I want, let me want what I have.
Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Why did you write a poem about a guy who broke-up with you?
Why would you even waste you time?
He obviously isn’t going to care what you do.
If he were reading these poems that you wrote,
he would probably laugh so hard he’d choke.
You shouldn’t waste your time on a guy who doesn’t care,
I don’t care about all of the laughs, the tears, and the smiles that you have shared.
Every break- up poem is the different,
But in one way they are the same,
They are all filled with your regrets and time erased pain.
Trust me, your not the first to be broken-hearted,
But you shouldn’t keep it going after you have parted.
Even if you give your all,
Almost every time you will fall.
And every time,
Right before you hit the ground,
You call for him,
But he never turns around.
You can’t make every guy work,
And lets face it,
Most of them will be jerks.
So, just get over him,
Try to move on,
Would it be so very wrong?
I don’t think so,
and neither does he,
Sometimes you just have to admit, that it wasn’t meant to be.
So don’t feel the need to jump off a cliff,
Because you’ll leave everyone that actually loves you,
with much more guilt,
Than that nasty pile of filth.
If he loves you he’ll let you know,
But if that day never comes,
Just know,
You don’t have to sink so low.
I have learned long, long, ago,
That there’s no one out there for me,
that’s something that I’ll always know.
There is no one that can make me feel better,
Or write me the best love letters,
But this girl,
The one most call,
“The Quitter”.
