It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

Favorite Quote:
"Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on ur part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.” -H. Clinton
