I can't say that I love you, because it would be too true. I'm not good with honesty, I'm not good with feelings. You taught me all that, you opened my eyes to...

&quot;Giving up is not a part of my vocabulary.&quot;<br /> &quot;Don&#039;t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.&quot;<br /> &quot;Truth be told I miss ya, truth be told I&#039;m lying.&quot;

If zombies attack us..im tripping u<br /> If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will go through life thinking its stupid.<br /> If you love somthing then let it go, if it doesn&#039;t come back it was never yours.<br /> I&#039;m scared to fall and be dropped.

&quot;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, &#039;Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?&#039; Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were all born to make manifest the glory of God that&#039;s within us - it&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> -Nelson Mandela

&quot;All that we see or seem, is but a dream within a dream.&quot;<br /> &quot;Just because her eyes don&#039;t tear doesn&#039;t mean her heart doesn&#039;t cry. And just because she comes off strong, doesn&#039;t mean there&#039;s nothing wrong.&quot;
