By ShineOn PLATINUM
Sandy Hook, Connecticut

On some days the sun may glow as threads of golden lace Lighting up the muddled sky But when it reaches down to kiss your skin, It does nothing to melt the icicles that line you...

&quot;Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It&#039;s a way of understanding it.&quot;<br /> ~~~<br /> &quot;You&#039;ve gotta dance like there&#039;s no one watching, love like you&#039;ll never be hurt, sing like there&#039;s no one listening, and live like it&#039;s heaven on earth.&quot;<br /> &ldquo;The most important words a man can say are, &quot;I will do better.&rdquo; <br /> ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer

Favorite Quote:
&quot;If a human being dreams a great dream, dares to love somebody; if a human being dares to be Martin King, or Mahatma Gandhi, or Mother Theresa, or Malcolm X; if a human being dares to be bigger than the condition into which she or he was born&mdash;it means so can you. And so you can try to stretch, stretch, stretch yourself so you can internalize, &#039;Homo sum, humani nil a me alienum puto. I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.&#039; That&#039;s one thing I&#039;m learning.&quot; <br /> - Dr. Maya Angelou
