Ode to you for being yourself, for keeping promises, for staying strong. Ode to you for showing the world what you're made of. Ode to you for not following anyone...

Don&#039;t let anybody tell you who you are; don&#039;t let anyone tell you that you don&#039;t deserve what you&#039;re willing to work for. <br /> Never give up; you\&#039;ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.

I would rather to never have felt love, than to feel so loved one <br /> minute and in the blink of an eye it all be gone, left with nothing <br /> more than this broken heart I have now. - Anonymous
