Look at You That Way
By SunshyneSky GOLD
Oakdale, California

You’re always telling Saying, whispering, yelling That I’m outta my head But my head is intact So what can you say Now that my actions reject your words Go ahead...

Favorite Quote:
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

&quot;School is practice for the future, practice makes perfect, but nobody is perfect. So why practice?&quot;<br /> &quot;You can murder a murderer, but you can never murder murder itself.&quot;<br /> &quot;Life&#039;s not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain

Favorite Quote:
&quot;I realize that life is risks. It&#039;s acknowledging the past but looking forward. It&#039;s taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven.&quot; <br /> -The Dead Tossed Waves.
