Favorite Quote:
"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you."
— Bob Marley


I've seen things... Things no one should ever see. I've lived through things... Things no one should live through. Things I would never wish upon my own worse enemy. My eyes behold bloodshed. My eyes behold tears and pain. My ears heard screams. My ears heard obscene things. I've lived hell. Most say hell is beneathe... They wouldn't say that if they heard of the things people like me have been through. My hands write to remember and record... Record a history of violence and darkness. Remember for a strength that can no longer be accessed but in this way. My mouth has spoken lies in order to protect my brothers eyes. My mouth spoke pain in order to not show the weakness brewing inside of me... I've lived things.... Things no one should ever live through. Things I would never thrust against my own worst enemy. Eyes seen assault. Ears heard screams. My body a traitor used against me. I've lived things.
