Favorite Quote:
"Yet ah! why should they know their fate? 
Since sorrow never comes too late, 
And happiness too swiftly flies. 
Thought would destroy their paradise. 
No more; where ignorance is bliss, 
'Tis folly to be wise." - Thomas Gray, exerpt from 'An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard'


do you know how it feels
when you feel like youre flying
and it feels like before
you were nothing at all
because now you are something
and that something is great
a mighty mighty somehing

do you know what i mean
oh when life is just blissful
when with unparalleled glee
you just giggle and smile
for prior to this
it seemed like youd never be free

can you understand what its like
to be swallowed so swiftly
by unrelenting joy
when even without a reason to smile
you just laugh the time away

when you feel like youre floating
high up above, for your master
has lengthened your chain
you can roam where you please
and soar with the breeze
the world will know your name
