Favorite Quote:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.


I loath the way
your eyes tear
up when you
yawn.
The way your
nose scrunches up
when you sneeze.
I despise the words
that are born
from your blush
lips and your
subtle tongue. 
The words that
anchor me to
reality.
A reality of dirty
needles and pinching
rubber bands
and beautiful blue
eyes that roll back
into my skull
and forbid themselves
to see the light
of day.
