So I suppose my simple advice is: Love your life. I only say that because your life is what you have to give.

My mind is blank.
Whiter than snow,
Emptier than the Grand Canyon,
Plainer than water,
Simpler than breathing,
More tasteless than air,
Bored and tired and worn out.
But wait!
What's that I see?
A snowman, a snow angel,
A magnificent sunrise,
A churning waterfall,
A light summer breeze!
A question, a beginning,
A rainbow splashing onto my imagination,
An idea.

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

'Sort of' is such a harmless thing to say... sort of. It's just a filler. Sort of... it doesn't really mean anything. But after certain things, sort of means everything. Like ... after "I love you"... or "You're going to live"... or "It's a boy!"

I had the exact same question! I liked the effect that the last line had.

Favorite Quote:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
