Favorite Quote:
"Why did they make birds so delicate and fine as those sea swallows when the ocean can be so cruel? She is kind and very beautiful. But she can be so cruel and it comes so suddenly and such birds that fly, dipping and hunting, with their small sad voices are made too delicately for the sea." -Ernest Hemingway from "The Old Man and the Sea"


I hold in my words, like breath underwater, 'Till my throat is so tight that I'm gasping for fodder. You may speak to me like I'm a victim to rescue, But my voice is an ambulance, wailing to beat you. My words will hit you and I'll keep on driving Becuase despite your fight, my words are inspiring.
