Youth. It is not said to be a time of one's life, but rather called of having a heart. With hope, a person stays young. With despair, they become old and parish.

&quot;When you&#039;re feeling blue, just remember that &quot;blue&quot; is a beautiful color and you&#039;re probably just looking at it from the wrong perspective. Joy can be found in every moment if we choose to look for it.&quot; Thats my quote...dont steal it.

&quot;It&#039;s a paper town, look at all those culs-de-sac, those streets that turn in on themselves, all the houses that were built to fall apart. All those paper people living in their paper houses, burning the future to stay warm. All the paper kids drinking beer some bum bought for them at the paper convenience store. Everyone demented with the mania of owning things. All the things paper-thin and paper-frail. And all the people, too. I&#039;ve lived here for eighteen years and I have never once in my life come across anyone who cares about anything that matters.&rdquo; -John Green
